Jeremy McKane – Artist. Explorer. Marine Entrepreneur. Co-Founder Ultramarine Summit. Founder / CEO OCN.ai
Jeremy McKane is an Artist and innovator with the passion for the environment. At 18, he found himself working in a startup that would one day become (for a time) the world’s largest web hosting provider. After leaving the corporate world, his focus began to shift towards impact based art, aligning his vision with ocean related issues and causes. He has shown his work as an installation artist all over the world but feels compelled to not stop there. When not making art, he is often on panels, traveling to climate negotiations and summits around the world, discussing munitions dumping and cleaning our seas, to ways to fund ocean causes through art and technology. Jeremy remains an active Explorers Club Member and is CEO of OCN.ai, the Ocean Currency Network, a means to financially incentivize nation-states to protect their waters with Blockchain technology which includes an autonomous network of marine robots that automate enforcement at sea. He co-founded the ULTRAMARINE Ocean Action Summit with Kite Boarding Pro Susi Mai, held each year on Sir Richard Branson’s Necker Island. The Ultramarine mission is to protect 30% of The World’s Ocean by 2030 by bringing rapid collaboration to the Ocean Space in hopes that we can protect more of what matters through tangible actions.
