Michele Parisi onboarded me to the cruise industry.
He knew the cruise industry already very well but I was even more inspired by his Swiss knife leadership, owning marketing and people management at a very high standard, and mixing it with great networking skills and 360 visibility. He has a great high-level view but is also one of the most approachable people I know. He makes hard things look very easy! Great leader, strong vision.
