Steven Chapman has been appointed Vice President of Marketing, reinforcing the company’s commitment to strategic growth, innovation, and brand leadership within the global yachting industry.

In his new role at Denison, Chapman will focus on advancing the company’s marketing strategy, strengthening the integration of technology and data across the business, and ensuring that marketing initiatives continue to support Denison’s long-term growth and reputation.

“I’m truly honored to join Denison as Vice President of Marketing and to be a part of a company with such a strong history, reputation, and team,” said Steven Chapman. “Throughout my career in the luxury industry, I’ve worked across marketing, sales, and technology to help brands connect with the right customers and drive meaningful growth.
