Cox Marine builds senior team
Cox Marine, maker of the CXO300 Diesel Outboard, is strengthening its leadership team as sales of the engine ramp up.
Four prominent positions have been filled as the company brings the engine from development and launch to full-scale manufacturing.
David Gilbert has joined Cox Marine from McLaren Automotive after 10 years there as Director of Strategy, Managing Director for EMEA and Commercial Operations Director. He becomes Chief Commercial Officer.
Paul Cavander has been appointed Head of Industrial Strategy, coming from GKN Aerospace, where he was Projects Director.
Cox Marine’s new Chief Engineer is Heinz Stalhammar, who has more than 40 years’ experience in automotive, marine and competition engines, and in the past 10- years worked in engineering marine diesel engines.
Finally, Marcus Randall has been appointed Head of Marketing and Communications to drive the promotion of the CXO300 engine and work with the company’s network of global distributors.
Cox says its new diesel outboard is a ‘new generation’ of diesel technology, with up to 30% fuel savings, 30% lower CO2 emissions and a 479lb ft torque built for maximum speed.
”David, Marcus, Paul and Heinz are very exciting additions to the Cox Marine team,” said CEO Gavin Wesson (pictured on Home page). ”Their expertise, knowledge and talent will play a key role in supporting the next phase of Cox’s story as we progress from engine development to full-scale product manufacturing. We welcome them all to the team here at Cox Marine.”
