Sealegs International are proud to welcome Dave Larsen as their new Chief Executive Officer. With an extensive track record in the marine industry and a strong legacy of leadership, Dave steps into this role at a pivotal time for the company – bringing with him a clear vision for innovation, growth and global impact.

Dave’s career is marked by ambition and success. At just 35 years old, he was appointed CEO of one of New Zealand’s most iconic boatbuilding brands, where he led the company through a period of significant growth and international recognition. His ability to drive strategic direction while staying close to both product and people has made him a respected and forward-thinking leader in the marine sector.

Now at the helm of Sealegs, Dave brings not only deep industry knowledge but also a strong commercial acumen, global perspective, and passion for New Zealand innovation. His appointment comes as Sealegs sharpens its focus on scaling internationally, expanding its commercial offering, and evolving its amphibious technology.

Reflecting on the opportunity, Dave said,

“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.”
