Northrop & Johnson has promoted Cromwell Littlejohn to the position of president and chief commercial officer following the promotion of Daniel Ziriakus to group COO and executive VP of the MarineMax Superyacht Division.
Crom joined Northrop & Johnson in 2015 a sales and charter broker, with a background that includes experience as a sales broker at Merle Wood & Associates and as a yacht captain.
In April 2017, he was appointed commercial director, steering the company’s commercial divisions toward unprecedented growth.
Under his leadership, the charter sector in particular, has seen exponential expansion.
As president and chief commercial officer, Crom will be responsible for driving Northrop & Johnson’s overall growth and strategic direction while continuing to oversee the global commercial teams.
“At the end of the day, my goal continues to be improving the services N&J offers clients while providing our commercial divisions the latest and greatest in tools, technology and marketing to provide nothing but extraordinary,” he said.
Northrop & Johnson’s services include yacht sales and purchase, new construction, charter, charter marketing, yacht management, crew placement, insurance, and finance worldwide.
Additionally, through its affiliation with the MarineMax umbrella, Northrop & Johnson offers access to berthing and more.
“Crom’s promotion to N&J president and chief commercial officer is well deserved. Throughout the years, Crom has provided the Northrop & Johnson team with extraordinary professionalism, knowledge, and expertise,” said Daniel Ziriakus, group COO and executive VP of the MarineMax Superyacht Division.
“He is an integral part of N&J’s growth and success, and we are excited for the next chapter with Crom at the helm of N&J.”
His vision is to integrate and streamline operations to ensure that Northrop & Johnson continues to deliver top-tier service and innovative solutions to its clients worldwide.
