 Carnival
Corp. & plc appointed Costa Crociere chairman Pier Luigi Foschi to oversee its
growth strategies within the rapidly expanding Asian region.In his role as chairman and ceo of the new Carnival Asia unit, Foschi will be responsible for establishing Carnival’s new corporate offices in Singapore and providing guidance and assistance to the organization’s various operating units in pursuing their Asian cruise strategies. Currently, Carnival Corp. & plc’s Asia operations include two Costa ships based in China and Singapore and Princess Cruises’ Sun Princess, which will launch a series of voyages from Japan next spring. Foschi, who retired as Costa ceo in July, will continue to serve in his current role of chairman and a managing director of the Costa group and as a member of Carnival’s board of directors. Foschi has extensive experience in the Asian marketplace, having overseen Costa’s initial entry into the region in 2006. He has also maintained relationships with local government and tourism officials. Additionally, prior to joining Costa, Foschi lived in Hong Kong and Singapore for many years while serving as evp of Pacific Asia operations for the Otis Elevator Co. ‘With Asia such an important part of our global strategy, it’s critical that we increase our presence in the region by establishing this new office in Singapore and appointing an experienced executive to coordinate our current operations and our future expansion efforts,’ said Carnival chairman and ceo Micky Arison. He called Foschi ‘the ideal candidate for this new role and considering that his responsibilities at Costa are winding down, we are delighted that he agreed to oversee our growth strategies in this emerging cruise region.’ |
