MarineMax yesterday announced the retirement of Larry Russo Sr. He joined the company in 2016, and has served as senior vice president, among other roles.
“Larry’s contributions to MarineMax and the boating industry as a whole are immense,” president and CEO Brett McGill, said in a statement. “His leadership, mentorship and passion for boating have inspired countless colleagues and customers alike. While we will miss his daily presence, his impact will be felt for years to come.”
Russo built a reputation as a forward-thinking industry pioneer, as owner of Russo Marine, a New England dealership. He has served in leadership roles with the Marine Retailers Association of the Americas, the National Marine Manufacturers Association, the Massachusetts Marine Trades Association and other organizations.
“It has been an incredible journey, and I am grateful for the relationships, experiences and opportunities I’ve had throughout the years,” Russo said in the statement. “Boating is more than a business — it’s a lifestyle that brings people together. I am proud to have played a small part in an industry that creates lifelong memories for so many.”
