In 2005, at the age of 44, he acquired the majority of Sanlorenzo, for which he assumed the role of chief executive officer and subsequently also of chairman. He has been leading the Group on a path of constant and sound growth until achieving a global reach, with an exponential increase in turnover, from €42 million in 2004 to €674 million in 2021, facing the 2008 financial crisis and the subsequent collapse of the yachting sector without the recourse to redundancies or social safety nets.
