Explorer. Entrepreneur. Speaker.
Olly Hicks has spent more than two decades exploring the limits of human endurance—from record-breaking ocean crossings and remote expeditions to building businesses inspired by the sea.
A world record-breaking explorer, British Army Airborne Reservist and CEO of regenerative ocean farming company Algapelago, he now combines adventure, innovation and leadership to help organisations navigate uncertainty, embrace challenge and unlock extraordinary performance.
With a new cold-ocean expedition in development, Olly continues to push the boundaries of exploration while championing ocean regeneration and purposeful leadership.
“Olly Hicks is a seriously tough adventurer. Not satisfied with having rowed the Atlantic at the age of 23, he is now planning to row around the world by circumnavigating Antarctica. We at the Transglobe Expedition Trust are delighted to be involved with this project and I personally salute Olly in this remarkable and epic challenge”
