Yamaha Announces Paolo Pavesio as New Managing Director, Succeeding Lin Jarvis in 2025

Yamaha has announced that Paolo Pavesio will take over as managing director in 2025, replacing Lin Jarvis.

Paolo Pavesio has been appointed to succeed Lin Jarvis at Yamaha.

On January 1, 2025, Pavesio is set to assume the role of managing director at Yamaha Motor Racing.

He formerly held the position of Director of Marketing and Motorsport at Yamaha Motor Europe, where he reorganized the motorsport department, leading to subsequent world championship victories in World Superbikes, EWC, and MXGP.

Pavesio is set to take over from Jarvis, who will conclude his 26-year leadership role at Yamaha.

Jarvis guided Yamaha to achieve eight rider championships, six manufacturer championships, and seven team championships. He managed the peak periods for the Japanese company with Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo, along with their latest championship win with Fabio Quartararo.

Even though Jarvis is stepping down from his role as managing director, he will continue to serve as a Senior Advisor at Yamaha.

Takahiro Sumi, who serves as the General Manager of the Motor Sports Development Division at Yamaha, expressed his gratitude to Lin for his 26 years of dedication and accomplishments, both on a personal level and on behalf of Yamaha.

His dedication, hard work, and leadership have played a crucial role in Yamaha’s achievements in MotoGP, and I am pleased that we will continue to benefit from his expertise in the future.

Paolo Pavesio is set to take over as Managing Director from Lin. Pavesio comes with extensive experience from YME, where he led Yamaha teams to World Championship victories in WorldSBK, EWC, and MXGP during his tenure as Marketing and Motorsport Director.

"I am excited about Paolo joining YMR in January and believe that with his leadership, Yamaha can achieve the MotoGP success we all aim for."
