Louisa Rudeen Beckett
Louisa Rudeen Beckett started her career as a book editor at Fawcett Books in New York City, acquiring Dances with Wolves for publication along with many other titles.
In 1988, she took her writing and editing skills to the magazine side of the business and has served as editor-in-chief of Motor Boating; editor of ShowBoats International, editor of Southern Boating, managing editor of Redbook, and executor editor of Yachting during the course of her career. In addition to honing her skills as a writer and editor, this experience has given Louisa an extensive knowledge of the boating industry from the smallest personal watercraft to the largest superyacht, as well as helping her become well acquainted with the luxury travel industry.

The invaluable experience he had gained in his previous positions as manager of the Be A Pilot/Project Pilot general aviation public relations account with the Barton Gilanelli agency, corporate communications director of Outboard Marine Corporation, and editor-in-chief of Soundings TRADE ONLY magazine proved invaluable in helping him and Louisa take the firm to a new level.
