Previously, Alain Raas worked as Aquila Brand Manager at MarineMax. His unique and varied experience will help foster the brand’s continued global expansion and successfully launch several new models in the coming years. “My passion lies in taking beautifully crafted products from the design and ideation stage all the way through to launch – says Raas – Aquila has an expansive vision for its product portfolio over the next several years, and I am thrilled to be a part of bringing that vision to life”.

Founded in 2012 by Sino Eagle Holdings, Aquila Power Catamarans is now internationally recognized as a leader in the motor catamaran industry. “With the experience Alain has gained over the years working with the MarineMax sales and marketing teams and being a key player in the growth of our brand here in the USA, we are excited to have him join our Aquila USA team based out of Clearwater – said Jean Raas, CEO of Aquila USA and Product Development Manager of the brand – Alain will lead the strategic development of our core competencies to align with company objectives in delivery, quality and engagement. Collaborating closely with our global marketing director and chief revenue officer, Alain will reinforce Aquila’s position as the global leader in power catamarans”.

As Aquila Power Catamarans continues to pursue its bold growth goals, Alain Raas’ deep industry experience and proven leadership will be invaluable”, added Frank Xiong, Executive Director of Sino Eagle Holding Group.
