Jessica Hoppe • The World • President & CEO

While most of us anchor ourselves to addresses, Jessica Hoppe oversees something decidedly more fluid. As CEO of The World—the only privately-owned residential ship in constant motion—she manages a community of 300 residents who live aboard year-round, travelling to over 1,000 ports every three years. Unlike traditional cruising, this is residential life at sea—complete with private apartments, community governance, and the kind of social dynamics you'd expect when successful people choose to live together in a space that's always moving.

Speaking to Anant Sharma in the global cruise capital of Miami, Florida, Jessica reveals the intricacies of planning itineraries two years in advance, how to manage floating democracy, and why some of the world’s most accomplished individuals have traded permanent addresses for permanent motion.
