Yann Masselot appointed Chief Executive Officer of the subsidiary Construction Navale Bordeaux

Groupe Beneteau is announcing Yann Masselot’s appointment as Chief Executive Officer of
Construction Navale Bordeaux, taking over from Dieter Gust, this subsidiary’s longstanding manager
and founder, with effect from September 1, 2018.
Yann Masselot is an IEA Paris – Institute of European Affairs graduate and has an MBA from Audencia
Business School. He joined the Groupe Beneteau 25 years ago and has built up unique knowledge of
Construction Navale Bordeaux, where he held various sales roles from 1999 and was Deputy CEO from
2016.
This handover is in line with the gradual transition targeted by Dieter Gust after 31 years as Chairman
and CEO of Construction Navale Bordeaux since it was created in July 1987. Dieter Gust will continue
in his role as Chairman of the Board of Directors of Construction Navale Bordeaux and will help the
Management Committee to meet its objectives, from both an industrial and a strategic perspective.
Hervé Gastinel, Groupe Beneteau’s Chief Executive Officer: “The Group would like to thank Dieter Gust
for the outstanding work accomplished not only in Bordeaux, but above all for the entire Group. I
have every confidence in Yann Masselot’s leadership and expertise to ensure that our Lagoon and
CNB yacht builders brands achieve their goals and successfully launch our new catamaran brand
EXCESS”.
