MarineMax yesterday announced that Steven English, president of the company’s IGY Marinas subsidiary, has been named CEO of IGY.
English was previously a managing director at Island Capital Group, where he served in senior asset management, principal investment and special situations roles. He commenced his career in management consulting and has led teams that closed in excess of $10 billion in transactions.
“Steve’s extensive international experience, proven industry leadership and deep understanding of IGY’s portfolio make him the ideal person to lead IGY into its next chapter of growth and innovation,” MarineMax CEO and president Brett McGill said in a statement. “Since joining IGY in 2007, he has contributed significantly to its success, helping extend our global reach to 23 marinas across 13 countries.”
McGill added that English spearheaded IGY’s expansion into the Cote d’Azur and Middle East markets, grown the IGY Trident Program, and advanced IGY’s strategic alliances and brand.
IGY serves more than 10,000 annual customers at 23 marinas in 13 countries.
“As CEO, I look forward to building on our success through new projects, such as IGY Savannah Harbor Marina in the United States and Sindalah Island Marina, a new luxury destination in Saudi Arabia,” English said in the statement. “These and other exciting initiatives embody the next phase of IGY’s innovation and growth, and I’m thrilled to be leading that effort for MarineMax.”
