Nautor’s Swan is moving forward in its strategic commercial plan of expansion, appointing Giulio Bertani in the role of Regional Director for Americas.
Born from a family of sailors, Giulio started sailing in the Gulf of Trieste with a 12-foot wooden dinghy and continued to race in different IOR classes with various boats, taking part in the Ton Cup, the World Cup, Sardina Cup, middle sea race, Giraglia, Italian and European championships.
In 1980, before funding his own yard constructing Star class keelboats and specialist carbon prototypes in epoxy resin, he spent 2 years in the role of Nautor’s Swan Service & Warranty Operations Manager. While continuing to cultivate his passion for sailing he entered the world of power boats in the late 80’s working as Sales Manager for major shipyards such as Tecnomarine, Posillipo, Canados, Baglietto and Sanlorenzo.
“I am very excited and honored to provide Nautor’s Swan with my experience,” commented Bertani. “Nautor’s Swan offered me the first opportunity to enter the nautical industry at the end of the 70s, so it is a matter of pride to close the circle and go back to where I left. I am happy to be part of a dynamic, close-knit, efficient and organized team whose values and passions I share and with whom I hope to contribute to the successes.”.
“Giulio’s long and professional yachting experience and his passion for Swan is the perfect recipes to develop one of the most important markets in the world.” Declared Sebastiano Fanizza Nautor’s Swan Commercial Director.
