Bensahel made CEO of Camper & Nicholsons

Benjamin Bensahel is the new CEO of Camper & Nicholsons.

Camper & Nicholsons has appointed Benjamin Bensahel as CEO to replace Paolo Casani.

Bensahel has spent six years with the company, most recently as chief commercial officer for Europe and the Middle East.

He joined the business in Monaco in 2020 as a sales manager before being promoted to head of sales for Europe. His remit was then expanded to the US and the Middle East.

He takes over in the wake of Sea Expandary Group’s acquisition of a majority stake in Camper & Nicholsons earlier this year.

Bensahel will be responsible for brokerage, charter, new construction and yacht management while driving growth.

“It is a tremendous honour to take on the role of CEO of Camper & Nicholsons, a company with such an extraordinary heritage and an exceptional team of people around the world,” he says.

“As we enter this new chapter with the support of Sea Expandary Group, my priority will be to build on these strengths, expand our presence in existing markets, develop new markets and opportunities, and foster greater collaboration across sales, charter, new construction and yacht management to deliver an even more comprehensive and seamless experience for our clients.”

Camper & Nicholsons “extends its sincere thanks” to Casani, who was appointed CEO in 2017.
