Frequently Asked Questions

What sparked your passion for space, and how has your journey evolved to make you a thought leader and advocate for the global space ecosystem?

My journey into the world of space began with a bold decision—to join the United States Air Force right out of high school. I wasn’t just signing up for a job; I was embarking on a mission to serve and grow. By attending night school while working full-time, I earned my degree and was selected to become an officer, transitioning into space acquisitions, where I discovered the profound impact space could have on our world.

My work in space wasn’t just about technology—it was about vision. During my time as a legislative liaison to the House of Representatives, I had the privilege of advocating for the space industry at the highest levels, helping shape policies that would affect the future of space exploration and innovation.

Today, as the CEO and Founder of SB Global LLC, my passion for space has evolved into something even greater. I’m not just working within the space industry but leading the charge to bridge the gap between space and the broader public. Through my keynote speeches and books, I aim to inspire others to see space not just as a distant frontier, but as a powerful tool for innovation, growth, and problem-solving in our everyday lives. Space touches every facet of our future—from healthcare to climate solutions, and I believe its potential can empower all of us to reach new heights.

Whether I’m speaking at global conferences, mentoring the next generation of STEM leaders, or writing about the life lessons space has taught me, my mission remains the same: to inspire others to dream bigger, push boundaries, and understand that the sky is not the limit—it’s just the beginning. I invite you to join me on this journey and discover how the future of space can inspire you, too.
Can you share your journey and background with us? How did your education and diverse roles shape your path to becoming a leader in the space industry?

My career has been a journey of discovery, service, and transformation, marked by four pivotal chapters that have shaped who I am today.

The first chapter began when I enlisted in the United States Air Force straight out of high school. Stationed in Turkey and Germany, I gained a global perspective that fueled my passion for international collaboration. While serving, I earned my bachelor’s degree by attending night classes and developing resilience and time management—skills that have been invaluable throughout my career.

The second chapter took off when I became a space acquisition officer. This role connected me with the future of space as I worked on programs and projects for satellites, ground stations, and rockets. During this time, I also earned my master’s degree. I developed strong senior leadership skills through various roles, including serving as a Defense Acquisition University professor and a U.S. House of Representatives legislative liaison. These roles helped me understand the power of advocacy and leadership in shaping the future of space policy and industry.

In the third chapter, I transitioned to Space Foundation as Chief Operating Officer, where I led global partnerships and developed strategic initiatives that made space more accessible. These programs created pathways into the space industry for underrepresented groups, helping them access opportunities in education and careers that were once out of reach. This role expanded my experience into the commercial, civil, and international aspects of the space industry, and together with my amazing team, we made space an industry for all.

Now, in the fourth chapter, as the CEO and Founder of SB Global LLC, I focus on connecting space technology with the broader public, empowering communities, and solving global challenges. My mission is to inspire others to see the possibilities space holds for their futures.
As a leader in the space industry, what are the most impactful initiatives you’ve been a part of, and how are you using your platform to drive innovation and education in space technology?

As the CEO and Founder of SB Global LLC, I am committed to advocating for space innovation and demonstrating how space plays a critical role in shaping our everyday lives. My work bridges the gap between the space industry and the broader public, ensuring that the transformative potential of space technologies benefits communities worldwide, not just industry specialists.

I collaborate with global leaders across sectors, helping them harness the opportunities that space technologies provide. I focus on advising these leaders on integrating space-driven innovations into strategic initiatives, ensuring that advancements from space fuel global opportunities and foster sustainable growth across industries. Together, we are building a future where space is an engine for economic and societal progress.

I’ve had the privilege of speaking at some of the world’s most prestigious events, including the World Economic Forum, LEAP, and the United Nations General Assembly 79 (UNGA79) Science Summit. LEAP, held annually in Saudi Arabia, is a premier global technology event that brings together leaders, innovators, and futurists. The UNGA79 Science Summit focuses on science and innovation to address the world’s most pressing challenges. These platforms allow me to engage with global audiences, advocating for the transformative potential of space technology.

In addition to these platforms, I am honored to be part of esteemed think tanks such as the BIED Society (Behavior International Economic Development Society), where I collaborate with global thought leaders at the forefront of space, economics, and policy. Together, we are shaping the future of space technologies to drive sustainable development and address the critical challenges of our time.

As a Forbes Technology Council contributor and an author for SpaceNews and other outlets, I share leadership on how space technologies drive global progress. My articles explore the intersection of space and sectors like artificial intelligence, education, and sustainability, offering a roadmap for how space innovations can solve real-world challenges while empowering the next generation of leaders.

Beyond SB Global LLC, I am fortunate to be part of an amazing network of global leaders on various boards. Together, as the President of the World Business Angels Investment Forum (WBAF) Global Women Leaders Committee Incubator and Accelerator Subcommittee, we are building global networks that provide female entrepreneurs with access to resources, mentorship, and international markets. As the Global Chair of the G100 Space Technology and Aviation Wing, we focus on fostering gender equality and creating leadership opportunities across the space and technology sectors. As the Chair of Tod’Aérs, we collaborate to support sustainable development initiatives, leveraging space and innovative technologies to address some of the world's most pressing challenges.
What exciting advancements in space technology and exploration should we pay attention to, and how will they shape our future?

The space industry is at the forefront of solving humanity's most pressing challenges while creating new pathways for innovation, careers, and growth across the globe. Space technologies are no longer just about exploration—they are transforming how we live and work on Earth.

Space innovation is creating real-world solutions, from healthcare advancements that save lives to Earth observation systems that monitor climate change and improve disaster response. NASA’s Harvest program is revolutionizing agriculture, helping to improve food security and sustainability across the globe. At the same time, NASA's Tech Transfer Office enables the commercialization of thousands of space technologies, allowing entrepreneurs to apply space-based innovations to solve critical issues on Earth.

Shared space assets like satellite communications are already closing the digital divide, offering remote communities access to information and opportunities they once lacked. As space technologies continue to evolve, they are opening doors for underrepresented groups and emerging space nations, providing access to careers in technology, innovation, and entrepreneurship. This is the true power of space—creating a more connected, inclusive, and sustainable future.

Looking ahead, the future of space is filled with exciting possibilities. With missions to the Moon, Mars, and beyond, space exploration continues to drive global collaboration and innovation. But perhaps most inspiring is how these advancements are transforming industries here on Earth, offering new opportunities for growth and development in ways that benefit us all.

Space isn’t just about what happens beyond our atmosphere—it’s about shaping a brighter, more equitable future for everyone, everywhere.
What inspired you to create the What’s Space Got To Do With It? book series and keynotes, and how do they align with your vision for the future? What’s your next big dream?

I developed the What’s Space Got To Do With It? book series and keynotes to create pathways for individuals across the globe—especially those from emerging space nationals and underrepresented regions—to understand how space technology can drive success in any field. Through years of mentoring with programs like the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA) Space4Women, which empowers women and girls to pursue careers in space, and the Global Policy, Diplomacy, and Sustainability (GPODS) Fellowship, which connects emerging leaders across sectors, I saw the need to broaden access and opportunity in the space industry.

The What’s Space Got To Do With It? series is designed to demystify the space sector, sharing insights from 200+ global thought leaders to help individuals recognize that space is more than exploration—it’s a tool for economic growth, entrepreneurship, leadership, and policy. These resources apply to anyone, regardless of background or career, showing how space innovation is shaping industries worldwide.

My passion for creating access and opportunities in space and technology has been recognized with honors such as the WomenTech Network Lifetime Achievement Award, being named one of the Top 100 Women of the Future in Emerging Tech, and being included in the 100 Voices for Our Planet, an initiative of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) that recognizes individuals for their contributions to sustainability and global environmental challenges. These accolades reflect my dedication to empowering the next generation of space leaders and fostering a more inclusive global space ecosystem.

My next big dream is to expand this impact through partnerships and global collaboration, ensuring that space innovation reaches every corner of the world, driving economic growth and sustainability.

Let’s Shape the Future Together
