Ferretti Group: KKCG Maritime submits slate for the Board, continuity with Galassi and Komárek as Chairman

In view of the Annual General Meeting set for May 14, KKCG Maritime has formally presented its list of candidates for the renewal of Ferretti Group’s Board of Directors. The move follows the recent partial voluntary tender offer, which enabled the company to consolidate its position, bringing its overall shareholding to 23.23% of the share capital.

The proposal put forward by KKCG Maritime is based on two main pillars: continuity of operational leadership and a strengthening of corporate governance. The stated objective is to support the Group’s next phase of development and enhance its long-term value, through a board composed of profiles with international experience across the luxury, yachting, M&A, capital allocation and executive management sectors.

At the top of the proposed structure, Karel Komárek, founder of KKCG, is indicated as Chairman, while operational leadership remains with Alberto Galassi, proposed as Chief Executive Officer and executive director. Galassi, who has led the Group since 2014, represents a key element of continuity in the management that has driven Ferretti’s industrial evolution over the past decade.

The proposed board aims to combine diversified expertise with a qualified independent component. Non-executive directors include Katarína Kohlmayer, CFO of KKCG with capital markets expertise, Piero Ferrari, Vice Chairman of Ferrari and Honorary Chairman of Ferretti, Bader Al-Kharafi, CEO of Zain and already a significant shareholder of the Group, and Kamil Zeman, a KKCG manager specialising in strategic investments.

The independent component includes Stefano Domenicali, current CEO of Formula 1, Zuzana Prokopcová, an expert in audit and control, corporate lawyer Jane Townsend, and Francesca Filippini Pinto, a manager with experience in investment banking and private equity.

The presentation of the slate takes place within a broader phase of redefinition of the Group’s governance structure, following recent developments in its shareholding.
