Joanna thrives on bringing people together to address complex challenges and deliver change. Since March 2023, Joanna has brought together industry, academia and government to identify shared priorities and agree collective action to deliver the ambition contained within the National Space Strategy. After a first career in investment banking, Joanna started in the space sector in 2014 at the Satellite Applications Catapult. At STFC (part of UKRI) Joanna supported the growth of the Harwell Space Cluster from 80 to over 100 organisations and led the development of STFC’s Skills Centre to address national technical skills shortages.
