Giles Hawke leaves MSC Cruises
Giles Hawke is leaving MSC Cruises in April to be replaced by Antonio Paradiso as managing director of the cruise line in the UK and Ireland.
The cruise line said Hawke, who has been with MSC Cruises for over two years, had made a significant contribution to the business and the brand in the markets for which he held responsibility during this time.
Gianni Onorato, chief executive officer MSC Cruises, said: "Antonio will be a strong successor to Giles as we look to grow further our business in the UK and Ireland. To best prepare for this, over the next two months Giles and Antonio will be working closely together on a full handover and familiarisation of the MSC Cruises business, its partners and other key stakeholders across both markets.
"I wish to thank Giles for his contribution to the business during his time with MSC Cruises. At the same time, this is an exciting time for our UK and Ireland business and a great opportunity for Antonio to lead the next phase of our growth in both markets."
Paradiso will remain in the interim also executive director, emerging markets.
Achille Staiano, currently head of commercial services, will assume on an ad interim basis market responsibility for Australia, Scandinavia and South Africa, three markets formerly part of Hawke’s portfolio.
