Inside Rotax:
Mario Gebetshuber
Mario Gebetshuber, general manager of BRP-Rotax and VP of Global Sourcing / Operations Powertrain, has worked at Rotax for more than 30 years and with both Sea-Doo and Ski-Doo powerplants. At age 51, he feels he has both the interest and expertise to support the company’ s efforts for years to come.
