ABOUT TONY EUDEN
Having spent most of my career in a global, market-leading luxury superyacht media business, I have a keen instinct for what ultra-high net worth individuals expect and demand from the brands they choose. Beyond this specialised knowledge, I also have a wide-ranging and highly versatile skill set, as I’ve been operating at COO and CEO level in this organisation since 2015. During that time, I have: Guided the organisation through all market conditions, including the 2008 financial crash and the Covid-19 pandemic, maintaining market leadership through crises which disproportionately impacted the sector and claimed several of our competitors. Identified and led strategic acquisitions to expand and diversify the business, including reporting to PE boards on the opportunity, due diligence findings, negotiations, integration and growth of acquisitions. Leadership team on seller-side running due diligence during business sale, followed by supporting post-acquisition integration, incorporating specialist luxury media B2C/B2B business into a FTSE100 organisation. Launched the World Superyacht Awards in 2006, starting completely from scratch and growing to become one of the industry’s key annual events, achieving record attendance in 2025. Built a profitable B2B division through organic growth and M&A.I\'m known as someone who takes on the difficult assignments – restructuring, acquisitions, crisis management – and finds a way to get them done. That reputation has been built over two decades of being genuinely hands-on, learning new things at remarkable speed, and drawing on comprehensive commercial and operational experience to be versatile and adaptable in the face of change. Of course, none of this can be done in isolation, and I pride myself on building teams that are structured, motivated and clear on their objectives.
