When you talk about SpaceX there is definitely one face that comes to mind – that of the company’s Founder and tech genius Elon Musk. With Musk’s busy schedule of running his other tech companies of Tesla, Neuralink, The Boring Company and lately Twitter you will agree with me that the multi-talented CEO needs some able assistants. Who executes Musk’s ideas in SpaceX? What progress is SpaceX making in its first orbital flight? What has the SpaceX President done with the Starship that is totally mind blowing?
59 year old Gwynne Shotwell is the person behind the success of Elon Musk’s SpaceX. Gwynne serves both as the SpaceX President and as the Chief Operating Officer. In other words she is responsible for the day to day operations in the company. As of 2022, Forbes ranked her as the 31st most influential woman in the world. Thanks to her success in engineering- a field where most ladies shy from. But how did the young girl from mid North West beat all odds and become such an icon in the space industry?
Gwynne Shotwell’s interest in engineering was aroused when she was in high school after her mother took her to a conference discussion at the Illinois Institute of Technology. The event was organized by the Society of Women Engineers. After this experience, the young Gwynne decided to apply to Northwestern University, where she graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical engineering. She started her career by working for IBM, The Aerospace Corporation in El Segundo and Microcosm Incorporation before joining SpaceX in 2002. For the last two decades Gwynne has proved that she is one of the most important hires that SpaceX has ever made.
