Ms Robinson studied astrophysics at the University of Geneva and began her career with the European Space Agency, where she set up the external relations department at the time of ESA’s first human spaceflights with Russia. Convinced that global science and technology initiatives can be deployed only through the active involvement of all segments of society, she ran consulting businesses in the US and Switzerland until 2015 to help achieve that goal, exploring new opportunities for governments, international organizations and businesses. With this experience in hand and with the Paris Climate Change Conference taking shape, she joined the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) to focus on global challenges, working closely with businesses, NGOs and governments to build transformative solutions for the 2030 Agenda. In 2018, Ms Robinson managed the leadership transition of the Antenna Foundation, bringing safe, affordable technology to developing countries in the areas of health, agro-ecology, water, hygiene, energy and nutrition. Ms Robinson still serves on several boards where her broad experience brings a unique perspective. She is also a passionate space and science “interpreter”, building awareness of their importance to society by sharing her professional and personal experience through public speaking. She joined GESDA at the end of 2019.
