Meet our CEO: Hedda Felin

Hedda joined as CEO of Hurtigruten in March 2021. She began her career in management consultancy, mainly heading up international projects before moving to Statoil/Equinor. She held various executive management positions for 15 years including Head of CEO Office, SVP of UK Continental Shelf and top global management positions within safety and sustainability and operations.

She has worked in Scandinavia, France, UK, China, and Guinea. Her favourite stretch of the Norwegian coast is along the Tromsø to Kirkenes route because of its rugged nature and fascinating history. Her heart also lies in Bremnes, Kvæfjord, south Troms, where she can see Hurtigruten pass Andøya.

Hedda studied international politics and leadership at the esteemed Institut d’Etudes Politques de Paris in France and is a fluent French speaker.

In her spare time, she loves sailing and windsurfing in the summer and skiing and hiking in the winter. She enjoys spending time with her family and is a self-confessed ‘hockey mum’.
