Management Shakeup At Groupe Beneteau Ahead Of Revealing New Strategy

8th June 2020

Jean-Paul Chapeleau is now deputy CEO of Beneteau’s new unified industrial operations and development department

Continuing its new strategy in response to the coronavirus crisis hitting the global boating industry, French boatbuilder Beneteau has announced the reorganisation of the key management structure of its boat division.

As reported by International Boat Industry, company veteran Jean-Paul Chapeleau will now assume the duties of deputy CEO in charge of the recently formed unified industrial operations and development department.

Chapeleau was general manager of the Prestige brand until April this year and before that was GM of Jeanneau for over 10 years.

With these changes, CFO Bruno Thivoyon joins Groupe Beneteau’s board of directors, and deputy CEO of operational excellence and former CFO Christophe Caudrelier has departed the company.

Beneteau — whose Irish agents are BJ Marine — will present a “comprehensive” new strategy to investors on Saturday 11 July. International Boat Industry has more on the story HERE.
