Smartgyro has appointed Carlo Galli Tognota as its new CEO.
Carlo has a 20-year career in the marine industry, starting at (Cantieri di) Bai boatbuilder, where he served as a mechanical engineer.
He continued with sales roles at Sealine Italia and Cummins, where he developed his leadership skills and experience in the yacht sales, marine propulsion and power generation sector.
For the past 11 years he has worked for machinery manufacturing company Twin Disc overseeing products for power transmission, boat management and propulsion and gaining insights into the EMEA market.
“I am honoured to take on the role of CEO at Smartgyro, a company with a remarkable history and reputation in the industry,” he said.
“My diverse background in technical, sales, and managerial roles has equipped me with a deep understanding of the marine sector, making me well-prepared for the challenges and opportunities ahead.
“I am pleased to be assuming this position at such an integral time for the company, celebrating their ten-year anniversary milestone this year.
Since 2020 Smartgyro has been headed by Marcel Borsboom, director of the general onboard systems group within the Yanmar Recreational Marine Business Unit who will resume this responsibility.
“This latest announcement heralds a transformative opportunity for the company to optimise its internal processes and fortify its robust leadership footprint in its native Italy,” said Marcel.
