Lynelle Johnson is the Founder and Managing Director of EClass Outboards, an Australian company helping accelerate the transition to cleaner boating through practical electric propulsion systems.

With a career spanning television, journalism, public relations and entrepreneurship, Lynelle has always enjoyed finding new ways to connect people with innovative ideas. Today she leads EClass Outboards, designing electric outboard and inboard systems that give existing boats a second life with quiet, zero-emission propulsion—making electric boating more accessible and affordable.

A passionate advocate for marine electrification, Lynelle works with commercial operators, governments and community organisations in Australia and overseas to demonstrate that electric boats aren’t just the future—they’re already here. She enjoys challenging common myths about electric propulsion and sharing practical insights from real-world projects on the water.
