The company said Yuhas has a diverse background in marketing and communications, a passion for boating and experience in marine marketing for some of the industry’s premier heritage brands.

Yuhas has a bachelor’s degree in visual communication from Ohio University. After college she worked in the editorial field as a designer and creative director for a series of publications in Nashville, Tenn., and Columbus, Ohio, before moving to Newport, R.I., to work in marine marketing.
