Hydro Tec, an Italian naval design and engineering company with a global presence and one of the world’s leading names in yacht design and naval architecture, founded in 1995 by Sergio Cutolo and Silvia Himsolt, announces the appointment of Myriam Cutolo as Executive Vice President.
The appointment marks a further milestone in Hydro Tec’s evolution: over more than thirty years, the company has grown from a professional studio into a structured organization recognized internationally, capable of integrating technical expertise, design, engineering and management in the development of superyachts and explorer yachts.
This is not a handover, but the natural evolution of an organization that has chosen to turn the wealth of experience, design culture and know-how built up over time into a shared strength capable of sustaining the company’s future growth.
A structure that does not replace a personal vision, but turns it into a lasting asset for the entire organization.
A Growth Path Built on People
The appointment of Myriam Cutolo is part of the broader organizational consolidation process launched by Hydro Tec in recent years to strengthen its management structure and support increasingly international growth.
In 2025, Hydro Tec announced the arrival of Nicola Camuffo as Chief Technical Officer (CTO) and Michele Lauriero as Chief Operating Officer (COO) to its management team — two internationally experienced figures brought in to strengthen, respectively, the company’s technical direction and operational organization.
With the appointment of Myriam Cutolo as Executive Vice President, Hydro Tec takes a further step on this path, consolidating an organizational model based on collaboration between different areas of
expertise, the distribution of responsibilities and the construction of shared leadership.
In recent years, Hydro Tec has progressively strengthened its structure, investing in the growth of managers, function heads, team leaders and highly specialized professionals who contribute daily to the company’s development.
A New Phase for Hydro Tec’s Leadership
In her new role, Myriam Cutolo will coordinate the company’s administration, finance, organization and business development activities, working in synergy with the management team and the heads of the various operational areas to consolidate an increasingly integrated, efficient and long-term-oriented structure.
Her professional path has developed within Hydro Tec, where she has gained an in-depth knowledge of the organization, its people and the processes that have helped make the company an international benchmark in the superyacht and explorer yacht sector.
An Olympic sailor and manager, Myriam brings to the company a combination of discipline, decision-making ability and strategic vision developed in highly competitive environments – qualities that complement the experience and skills of a multidisciplinary team that today represents Hydro Tec’s true asset.
A Vision that Becomes a Shared Asset
Founded on the technical and design vision of Sergio Cutolo, Hydro Tec has built an international reputation over the years thanks to an approach capable of integrating naval architecture, design and engineering.
The path undertaken by the company stems from the desire to preserve this identity and turn a design culture built over more than thirty years of activity into an asset shared by the entire organization.
Hydro Tec’s strength today lies not in a single person, but in the ability of a team of professionals and managers to put different skills at the service of a shared vision.
