Summary
Ryan Rizzo is a commercial and technical leader who has spent over a decade building Malta’s premier marine and watersports supply businesses, now directing procurement, compliance, and technical supply for superyachts across the Mediterranean. As Co-Founder and Managing Director of Ritz Marine and Director at Mercer Yachting he combines hands-on supply chain instincts with engineering training to secure exclusive brand partnerships and deliver complex logistics for high-value yachts. He manages end-to-end operations from purchasing and finance to R&D and technical safety (including lithium systems), and runs an “always-on” operations desk that reflects the seasonality and urgency of the yachting world. His background in electronics and control engineering, plus applied training in machine learning and web/mobile development, gives him a rare mix of technical fluency and commercial acumen. Known for first-mover retail initiatives (launching Malta’s first dedicated kayak and SUP operation), he scales niche product categories into reliable B2B supply channels for luxury clients and fleet operators.
