Stefanie Tuccori Kiely joins 50 Degrees North as head of sales, North America

Stefanie Tuccori Kiely has joined Nordic and Arctic tour operator 50 Degrees North as head of sales, North America, where she will lead the company’s Vancouver-based sales team.

She brings more than a decade of experience with Flight Centre Canada, most recently serving as director of product.

Tuccori Kiely told PAX that 50 Degrees North’s commitment to responsible travel influenced her decision to join the company.

“I’ve seen firsthand how eager the market is for sustainable, impactful travel. Joining a certified B Corp felt like a natural career progression, aligning my professional experience with values that have become increasingly important to me over time,” she said.

In her new role, she plans to focus on supporting the sales team and strengthening travel advisors’ and industry partners’ knowledge of the Nordic region.

“I’m invested in taking an educational approach to sharing our passion for the Nordic region and am passionate about helping our industry and travellers make more responsible choices,” she said.

50 Degrees North specializes in travel to Scandinavia, Finland, Iceland, Greenland, the Balticsand the High Arctic.

According to Tuccori Kiely, the company continues to see strong year-over-year growth from North America, alongside increasing interest in shoulder-season travel as travellers look beyond peak periods and crowded destinations.

She pointed to improved air connectivity between Canada and Nordic hubs such as Copenhagen, Stockholm and Reykjavik as another factor making the region more accessible to Canadian travellers.

As part of its North American expansion, 50 Degrees North is recruiting a destination specialist and a business development manager for its Vancouver team. Both positions are hybrid roles.
