MarineMax CFO steps down from board amid reshuffle
Daniel Schiappa has been appointed to the MarineMax board
MarineMax has appointed Daniel Schiappa to its board of directors, effective immediately. The announcement is part of the company’s ongoing board refreshment process, which also includes the departure of chief financial officer Michael H. McLamb from the board.
McLamb will remain in his role as executive vice president and chief financial officer of MarineMax. Following the changes, the MarineMax board will consist of eight directors, seven of whom are independent.
Schiappa, who is 57, brings experience in cloud platforms, R&D, cybersecurity and large-scale product organisations. He currently serves as president, technology and services at Arctic Wolf Networks, overseeing product management, R&D, threat intelligence, strategy, alliances, SOC operations, support, incident response and concierge services within a global 2,000-person organisation.
His previous positions include executive vice president and chief product officer at Sophos, where he led a $1bn business with more than 1,000 employees, senior vice president and general manager at RSA (EMC), and multiple general manager roles at Microsoft covering Windows security, identity services and mobile advertising. He has also held executive roles at Vingage, Kodak/PictureVision, Informix and Oracle, and holds more than 18 patents.
Rebecca White, chairperson of the MarineMax board, says: “Daniel’s appointment underscores our commitment to ensuring the Board’s expertise is closely aligned with MarineMax’s long-term strategic priorities. His track record of driving innovation and scaling complex global operations aligns with our vision for growth. As we continue to navigate the digital transformation of the recreational marine industry, Daniel’s insight will be invaluable in helping guide the Board’s decisions on technology investments and the expansion of our digital capabilities.”
White adds: “On behalf of the entire Board, I want to thank Mike for his more than 21 years of dedicated service on the MarineMax Board. Mike will continue to contribute to our Board dialogue in his ongoing role as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, ensuring the Board continues to benefit from his deep industry experience and institutional knowledge. This transition reflects MarineMax’s ongoing commitment to strong corporate governance practices and thoughtful board succession planning.”
Schiappa has been appointed to the board’s audit committee. Marinemax says his background in technology strategy, enterprise risk management and cybersecurity oversight will all contribute to the company’s strategic growth initiatives.
