Meridiano, led by CEO Garry Kyle, is a software as a service (SaaS) company that is dedicated to improving the crew hiring process in the yachting industry.
Following its buy and build strategy, Meridiano completed 2 acquisitions in 2020. First, Meridiano acquired Crew4Yachts, and then acquired the education and content assets of CrewCompass. Stacy Geddis, the owner of Crew4Yachts, created the first online CV database in the industry back in 2004. Stacy is now President of Meridiano.
In 2020, Garry and Stacy decided to leave the old Crew4Yachts platform behind and build a new platform from the ground up. With the help of employer and crew focus groups, Meridiano has built and brought to market the most innovative crew hiring platform in the industry. “I’ve always envisioned a centralized hiring platform that equally benefits crew, employers, and recruiters, while still remaining cost effective. And that’s exactly what Meridiano does,” says Stacy Geddis, President of Meridiano.
“Our feature rich platform ensures employers can quickly hire qualified and vetted crew, and then effectively manage them with the use of our CREWmanager,” says Garry Kyle, CEO of Meridiano.
