As Chair of azimutbenetti, Giovanna Vitelli knows what it takes to design a yacht that wows. In her first interview, she talks about catering to a new generation of seafarers and what it takes to stand out in a crowded market. yacht boats
Now, Azimut-Benetti is the world’s largest yacht builder , with two world-renown brands, and within those brands, vastly different models. Its Atlantis 45 cruiser is the smallest model in the Azimut range, while sister builder Benetti has launched complex, hybrid-powered gigayachts up to 351 feet. In between, there are a dozen other styles and myriad sizes.
Giovanna Vitelli’s promotion has been a long time coming. For a decade, she oversaw the product development side of the business, describing it as her first “real test.” Next-generation models like the Azimut Magellano 25M, Benetti’s new Oasis 40M and Oasis 34M superyachts, and the just-announced Azimut Seadeck series were all launched under her purview as part of an aggressive new-product design schedule.RR: This promotion has been expected for a long time.
Paolo and daughter Giovanna Vitelli have worked together for more than a decade before transitioning roles.Internally, it’s very important to be able to manage the happiness of people. In a small company, you know everybody, and you can understand who’s happy and who’s not. With 2,000 people and many production sites here and abroad, it is important to me that we keep that family feeling, despite the size.
Product is the true DNA of this company. In both Azimut and Benetti, our department was responsible for the development for new designs in the last decade. To me, that was the real test to see if I could take on this responsibility of Chair of the group. We brought in designers from outside the yachting industry and I think that was successful. Really, what you do in product development is everything. You could lose a lot of money if you make a mistake.
