ePropulsion announced that it will establish ePropulsion USA, its branch office in the United States. This strategic move aims to further strengthen the company’s presence in the United States and capitalize on the unique opportunities presented by the American boating industry. Tom Watson, a seasoned professional with extensive experience in the marine sector, has been appointed as the President of ePropulsion USA.
“The United States is a vital area of business in the marine industry, across all sectors, including those of commercial and recreational,” said Danny Tao, co-founder and CEO of ePropulsion. “We have made excellent strides in North America and in the United States, and now we want to further focus our efforts on this unique and diverse market. We couldn’t be in better hands on that front than with Tom, who is intimately familiar with the American boating industry.”

Most recently, he has served as General Manager at Highfield Boats for well over six years, overseeing distribution and promotion of their products. Before that, he worked with Torqeedo, YANMAR, and numerous other companies specializing in marine products. As president of the ePropulsion USA team, Watson will play a pivotal role in promoting ePropulsion products and providing high-level service to our OEM customers in this dynamic market.
“I’m thrilled to work with ePropulsion and expand our presence here in the States,” said Watson. “Electric propulsion has seen explosive growth recently, here and globally, and is poised for more. ePropulsion’s cutting-edge products and unwavering commitment to user experience and environmental stewardship have truly impressed me.
