Mary Ellen Weber keynote speaker

Dr. Mary Ellen Weber brings unique insights and skills honed through decades of speaking to provide compelling and thought-provoking keynotes on high-stakes operations, decision making, agility, and innovation. Informing her insights are her space experience as a NASA Astronaut and NASA Advisor, her executive experience, and more than 40 years as an accomplished competitive skydiver. She shares her own stories, as well as other little known lore and lessons from space, to captivate audiences.

Weber is an acclaimed speaker in wide-ranging venues. In addition to keynotes, she once hosted a NASA TV show and co-hosted a town hall with a U.S. Vice President, and she has been on tours with the State Department throughout India, Canada, Egypt, Morocco, Kazakhstan, Qatar, Slovakia, and Australia. And for over 15 years, she was a "go-to" space expert for news outlets including BBC Radio, Fox Business, and MSNBC.

What sets her apart from other astronaut speakers has been her focus on creating and delivering talks meaningful for businesses and executives. She draws on 13 years experience as Executive Education faculty at the Kellogg School of Management, giving dynamic talks on decision making, leadership, resilience and innovation.
