Saunders Yachtworks has promoted M. Boyd Siegel to general manager and vice president.
As general manager, Boyd will oversee the customer service and sales department, in addition to all operational activities.
In his role as vice president, he will proceed with his contributions to the overall direction of the company and his executive leadership responsibilities as a member of the board of directors.
Boyd began his career at Saunders in 2014 as a carpenter in the crafts department.
He soon moved to the special projects division refitting vessels for the Naval Oceanographic Office.
Boyd transitioned to management as a customer service advisor, then to assistant crafts manager, and in 2018, he was promoted to crafts manager.
In 2021, he was named director of operations.
“To have someone like Boyd rise through the ranks, absorbing the Saunders standard of expectations and culture while also learning the mechanics of the marine industry is invaluable,” said Saunders president and CEO John Fitzgerald.
“He has earned this position by providing great service, exceptional leadership and excelling in every role he has performed during his decade-long career at our company.”
Saunders operates a full-service yacht repair facility in coastal Alabama, managing projects ranging from routine maintenance to major refits and repowers for vessels up to 130ft.
