GLO ORBIT 🚀 Profile of the Week Olympia LePoint _Former NASA Rocket Scientist | TED Speaker | Author_ She calculated rocket trajectories at NASA and Boeing. Now she’s on a mission to launch human potential. Olympia LePoint is a former NASA rocket scientist who worked on the Space Shuttle program. A math prodigy who earned her master’s degree by 19, she broke barriers in a field where few women of color had a seat. Today she’s a TED Speaker and author of _Answers Unleashed: The Science of Unleashing Your Brain's Power_. Through her work and her book _Mathaphobia_, she teaches students, creatives, and professionals how to rewire their thinking, beat mental blocks, and unlock genius-level performance. *Glo Orbit Takeaway:* Space taught her precision. Science taught her power. Now she’s teaching us that your mind is the most advanced technology you own. Launch it. #GloOrbit #WomenInSpace #AnswersUnleashed #OlympiaLePoint

*Glo Orbit | Behind the Build: The Story of Gwynne Shotwell* SpaceX just went public. You’ve heard of Elon. Now meet the woman who actually built it. Gwynne Shotwell is President and COO of SpaceX, and she’s been shaping the company from the inside for over 25 years. She joined as employee #7, long before SpaceX was a household name, a billion-dollar valuation, or a launch provider for NASA and the world. She’s not a founder. She’s not the loudest name in the room. But she’s the one running day-to-day operations, closing deals, and turning Elon’s vision into rockets that actually fly. Under her leadership, SpaceX went from near-bankruptcy in 2008 to launching Falcon 9, Falcon Heavy, Crew Dragon, and Starlink. Gwynne’s story matters because it redefines what leadership looks like. You don’t need to be the face of the brand to build the brand. You don’t need to follow a traditional path to change an industry. Behind every headline is someone doing the work long before anyone is paying attention. For SpaceX, that someone is Gwynne Shotwell. _Courtesy of Glo Orbit_ #GloOrbit #GwynneShotwell #SpaceX #WomenInSTEM #WomenInSpace #Leadership #BehindTheScenes #SpaceIndustry #FemaleLeaders #STEM
