A former European Space Agency and European Commission leader with dual engineering degrees from the UK and USA, Amanda spent over 20 years pioneering innovation in satellite design, constellation architecture, and commercial space investment. Her career highlights include leading an International Space Station payload launched aboard the Space Shuttle, representing ESA in NASA’s A-Train collaboration working with multiple space agencies across the world, and being the founder programme manager for InCubed, ESA’s first commercial co-funding programme, scaling it from €35M to over €105M across 18 nations. She recruited, built and managed international teams at the European Space Agency and the European Commission. After “landing 4 dream jobs,” Amanda pivoted from launching satellites to helping people launch or relaunch themselves in their careers. Today, she blends the science of space missions with the psychology of reinvention to help professionals, especially women at mid-career crossroads, design paths that align with who they truly are and what they’re meant to do next, the kind of work that makes their atoms sing! In her own words: “I pivoted from designing missions for spacecraft to designing missions for people. Every spacecraft only succeeds if it reaches the orbit it was designed for — and a career is no different. My work now is about helping people, particularly professional women, find and stay in the orbit they’re designed for.” Amanda’s keynotes including “Before You Launch: The C.L.A.R.I.T.Y. Countdown™ for Reinventing Your Career” and “Leading Beyond Gravity: 5 Leadership Lessons from Space Missions”. Known for her cinematic storytelling, warmth, and practical takeaways, she leaves audiences both inspired and equipped to navigate their next launch. She continues to advise UK Space Agency–funded initiatives, mentor emerging space professionals, and speak at conferences and podcasts on leadership, innovation, and human reinvention. Book Amanda for your next event if you’re looking for a speaker who turns the science of space missions into a roadmap for human reinvention inspiring (particularly) women to rise above fear, to reclaim their purpose, and step boldly into the orbit they were born for.
