Who i am
About
Rocket Scientist, Entrepreneur, Keynote Speaker, & CEO of SkyGenex
Growing up in Nigeria, I have always been driven to make a positive impact on the world. Determined to pursue my dreams, In 2010, at the age of 18, I took a leap of faith and migrated to the United States with just $200 to my name to pursue a career in the aerospace industry. I am an alumni of Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University and I began my journey in the field as an engineering intern at NASA.
In 2018, I joined SpaceX as a Mission Integration Engineer, where I played a crucial role in certifying the company’s Falcon 9 rocket for crewed flights, including the historic Demo-2 mission – the first commercial mission to carry astronauts to the International Space Station and return them to Earth. In recent years, I have taken on even more challenging technical and programmatic roles, including serving as the Baseline Certification Lead for SpaceX’s Starship Human Lander System and successfully leading a cross-discipline team to deliver certification artifacts required by NASA for the first woman and person of color to land on the Moon. I have also served as the Program Lead on a project to create and demonstrate the first on-orbit large scale cryogenic propellant transfer technology, commonly known as a “space gas station.”
In addition to my work in the space industry, I have the privilege of sharing my insights and expertise with diverse groups around the world as a global speaker. Through my engaging and thought-provoking private talks, I aim to inspire and empower audiences to think critically and challenge the status quo in their professional and personal endeavors, with the goal of stimulating positive change and growth on a global scale.
