Keynote Speaker

Col. Eileen Collins

NASA Pioneer | First Female Space Shuttle Pilot | First Woman Mission Commander in NASA History

NASA astronaut Eileen Collins reveals encouraging perspective and insight on the leadership skills needed to break barriers and become a successful pioneer in your field.

One of America’s most admired women, Col. Collins became the first female to pilot a U.S. spacecraft with the Discovery shuttle flight in 1995, and the first female commander on the 1999 Columbia shuttle flight. In 2005, NASA tapped Col. Collins to command the space shuttle Discovery’s historic “Return to Flight” mission, NASA’s first manned flight following the loss of space shuttle Columbia in 2003.

Col. Collins will be interviewed in a fireside chat by Legal Operations and Technology pioneer and host of CLOC Talk, the podcast on tech, transformation, and the meaning of life, Jenn McCarron.
