Agnes Árnadóttir

Agnes Árnadóttir is the co-founder and CEO of Brim Explorer, a Norwegian company developing and operating electric and hybrid-electric vessels that are redefining sustainable ocean tourism. Drawing on her background in political science and her family’s whale-watching heritage in Húsavík, Iceland, Agnes and her team have built one of Norway’s most recognised green tourism enterprises.

Since founding Brim Explorer in 2018, the company has grown from a single-location operation into a multi-site leader with routes in Tromsø, Lofoten, Bodø, Oslo, Stavanger, and Svalbard, around 100 employees, and revenues exceeding 220 million NOK — making sustainability commercially viable at scale.
