Silversea Cruises today announced the appointment of Roberto Bruzzone as the company’s new Senior Vice President of Marine Operations. Roberto will report directly to Silversea’s President and CEO, Roberto Martinoli, and will be responsible for the fleet’s marine and technical operations. He will also oversee newbuild and refit activities, as well as technical procurement and crew management.
With extensive experience in the shipbuilding industry and having held various positions at major international cruise companies during his successful career of almost 20 years, Bruzzone will play a key role in supporting the expansion of Silversea's ultra-luxury fleet in the coming years.
After five years as Vice President of Technical Operations at a major cruise corporation - part of a 14-year period at the same company - Bruzzone took over as Chief Operating Officer to oversee the company operating in the New Construction Division of another major cruise line holding company, managing large teams of professionals in a position of great responsibility.
A chartered naval architect and naval engineer with a master's degree in the field, as well as a master's degree in business administration from London Business School, Bruzzone has studied in America, Italy and London and is a member of the Lloyds Register Technical Committee and the RINA Technical Committee.
