Sealegs International has announced the appointment of Dave Larsen as its new Chief Executive Officer, a move the company sees as a turning point in its trajectory as it focuses on accelerating growth and international expansion.
Dave brings a compelling record to the role. Appointed CEO of one of New Zealand's most recognised boatbuilding brands at just 35 years old, he steered that company through a period of substantial growth and growing international profile. His reputation in the marine sector rests on a rare combination of strategic sharpness and hands-on engagement with both product development and the people behind it.
“Sealegs represents the kind of Kiwi ingenuity the world needs more of. It’s an exciting time to lead the business into its next phase - strengthening our product offering, dealer network, and global reach.”
That forward-looking approach is precisely what Sealegs is counting on. The company is currently focused on scaling its operations internationally, broadening its commercial offering, and continuing to advance its amphibious technology. Dave's arrival brings deep marine industry experience, commercial acumen, and a genuine enthusiasm for New Zealand innovation, attributes the company sees as central to navigating that next phase.
The appointment marks the beginning of a new chapter for Sealegs, defined by bold ambition and a determination to push the boundaries of what amphibious craft can achieve on the world stage.
The Sealegs team will also be returning to the NZ Boat Fish & Dive Expo, where visitors can find them at Stand 160. The Sealegs 8.6m Alloy MAX will be on display at the event.
