Arksen

Chatting with Arksen founder and CEO Jasper Smith, his enthusiasm for adventure is infectious. An accomplished entrepreneur, his career trajectory speaks of his appetite for adventure and bold decisions. He’s never been the timid type. As an ambassador for Patagonia, he spent his youth climbing mountains, sent on “extraordinary adventures and expeditions”. However, a formal career beckoned and in his early twenties he turned from the physical to the digital, carving out a stellar career in tech. His five-years young business, Arksen launched in 2019 but, as Jasper tells it, “these powerful projects start a long time ago”. The lightbulb moment came on a trip to Greenland with his son. The scale of the landscape and the rate of change was “unfathomable”. Seeing the ice caps melt at pace, Jasper wondered: “What do I want to do with the rest of my life? It was one of those moments.” He yearned to “go back to physical things...to create a space for people who love the authenticity of adventure, and what that means to humanity”. Today the culmination of his business acumen and this longing, his dream for Arksen is to create an ecosystem for adventure. Tackling the circularity of superyachts head-on, here, Arksen’s adventurous CEO talks storytelling, sustainability, and profit for purpose with Tempus. #TempusMagazine #sustainability #superyachts #Arksen #interview #VantageMedia #publishing https://lnkd.in/eAZeTNP6
