“The creation of the Superyacht Division represents a pivotal moment for MarineMax,” Chuck Cashman, chief revenue officer of MarineMax, said in a statement. “With Daniel and Alessandra at the helm, we are confident in our ability to deliver unparalleled service and support to our clients. This new structure will not only enhance operational efficiency but also reinforce our commitment to maintaining the unique identities of our esteemed brand while offering an elevated customer experience. Equipping our team with best-in-class tools guarantees superior marketing, cutting-edge technology, and exceptional support.”
Ziriakus has spent 18 years in the yachting industry including stints with Fraser Yachts and Camper & Nicholson’s International. For the past decade, he has overseen Northrop & Johnson’s expansion to become the largest U.S. superyacht brokerage.
Nenci joined Fraser Yachts in 2013 and became chief financial officer in 2017. She had an international career in corporate finance and mergers and acquisitions. Her experience in the yachting industry started in 2006 with the Perini Group, followed by time with Gruppo Baglietto and Heesen Yachts.
