Marine technology company Savvy Navvy announced yesterday the promotion of Misha Vysokovskiy to chief product officer and the executive team. Vysokovskiy was previously head of product at the company, leading a range of developments and enhancing features for the company’s navigation app.

“As we continue our mission to make boating simpler for everyone, Misha’s appointment to CPO and our executive team signals the focus ahead of our ambitious plans to grow Savvy Integrated and to continue us to scale,” founder and CEO Jelte Liebrand said in a statement.

Vysokovskiy moved to London in 2022 through a U.K. Global Talent track after spending a decade in geoservices at Russian technology company Yandex. He built Yandex Navi into a leading navigation product with millions of monthly users around the world, the statement said.

Savvy Navvy won a Marine Marketers of America Neptune Award at the Miami International Boat Show last month for its retailer program.
