SCHIEDAM – Vetus, the Dutch developer of entire boat systems, has named Rebecca Lancashire its new sales manager for Florida and the Gulf regions. She joins Vetus from KVH Industries and will head sales in Florida, Texas, Mississippi, Alabama, and Louisiana.
Vetus said Lancashire will focus on managing relationships with boat builders, dealers, distributors, and partners in these states and support the Maxwell Superyacht Division.
She spent eight years at KVH Industries, a provider of mobile connectivity, content, and value-added services, where she built a strong background in maritime connectivity sales, service, and account management. Having also crewed on 12m classic sailing yachts in Newport, RI, up to a 130ft Westport in Florida and the Bahamas, she has a deep understanding of the marine industry and the superyacht market.
