“I have always harboured a passion for the marine industry, even as a young teen, and my career began crossing oceans aboard VLCC tankers, where I attained a certificate of competency to navigate vessels of unlimited size internationally,” says Saberi. “I strive to remain abreast of technological advancements and improvements in yachting, and I look forward to sharing my knowledge and experiences with clients.”
“We are excited to welcome Behzad to the Camper & Nicholsons family here in the Middle East,” says Giovanni Alessi Anghini, managing director of Camper & Nicholsons Middle East. “His presence will reinforce the team’s regional market knowledge, widen our connections, strengthen our regional presence, and further advance Camper & Nicholsons as a global brand and provider.”
With Saberi’s appointment to the team, Camper & Nicholsons continues to strengthen its presence in the Gulf. The company says it is set to further capitalise on Dubai’s increasingly important position in the international yachting industry.
