Benetti appoints new head of American sales
Benetti has announced that, effective immediately, Federico Ferrante, president of Azimut-Benetti Americas, will take on the responsibility for driving Benetti’s commercial development across the Americas region. This appointment is a key element of the Azimut-Benetti Group’s ongoing strategy to strengthen and develop internal leadership resources.
Ferrante’s appointment underscores the group’s commitment to expanding its presence in the Americas and reinforces its focus on leveraging existing leadership to accelerate growth in the luxury yacht sector.
Ferrante has spent more than 25 years at Azimut|Benetti Group and three decades of experience in the nautical industry. He also has dual citizenship and residence in the United States.
This is not the only expansion the Italian boatbuilder has made – earlier in February 2025, Benetti appointed Matthew Walford as area manager for Australia and New Zealand.
Ferrante’s new role aims to strengthen Benetti’s growth in the American markets and seize the unexplored development potential in this strategic area, extending from Canada to Chile, including the Caribbean.
