An absolutely spectacular conversation with Barrett Wright, President, Hill Robinson USA during one of the most exciting times in the industry in general, and even more so as it pertains to Hill Robinson. Twenty years ago, Hill Robinson was specifically created to manage the complexities of the world's largest yachts, bringing technical excellence to a full spectrum of services that owners require most.
"“The best advice that I have received as a yacht owner was to employ Hill Robinson as a manager when I acquired my first yacht. They went on to supervise the construction of my present yacht and manage it since delivery. The most frequent comment I receive is that my 12 year old yacht looks like a newly-built yacht, which is the result of Hill Robinson's extraordinarily diligent, dedicated and professional management.”
Barrett grew up in or on the water. After graduating from the University of Pennsylvania, Barrett began her professional career at Sotheby’s in 2000. Looking for a change, Barrett joined the yachting industry in 2003 and after working on board sailing yachts in the Caribbean and New England, she found herself based in Newport, RI, and took a shoreside position with the Fontaine Design Group and Friendship Yacht Company. Upon relocating to Florida in 2010, Barrett joined Hill Robinson first as Yacht and Company Accountant and quickly expanded her duties to include yacht operations. In February 2015, she was promoted to President of Hill Robinson USA and continues to run US operations.
