Vision Marine Technologies announced the appointment of Daniel Rathe to chief technical officer. Rathe previously worked for Vision under Xavier Montagne, whose contract has concluded. Montagne’s work laid the foundation for the electric boat and outboard manufacturer’s entry into commercial deployment, a company statement said.
“Daniel’s leadership and technical expertise, combined with the strong operational platform provided by Nautical Ventures, position Vision Marine to capitalize on the growing demand for electric marine propulsion,” Vision CEO Alexandre Mongeon said in the statement. “We are now entering the most exciting phase of our journey, bringing our technology to market at scale.”
Separately, Vision Marine Technologies announced the resignation of Anthony E. Cassella Jr. from the board of directors. Cassella stepped down in light of potential and perceived conflicts between his professional activities at MarineMax and his role on the Vision board.
