Luca Brancaleon, new sales director of the Bénéteau brand

Luca, who qualified in Law at the University of Parma in 1996, has solid sales management experience in international multi-brand positions.

Luca Brancaleon succeeds François Rodrigues, who will move to a newly created role of Sales Development for the Bénéteau Group Boats Division.
