Jane Poynter is a visionary entrepreneur and a pioneer in the field of space exploration. As the Founder and Co-CEO of Space Perspective, the world's first carbon-neutral human spaceflight company, she is revolutionizing access to space and opening new horizons for humanity.
Together with her business partner of over 30 years, Taber MacCallum, Jane has embarked on a mission to provide unprecedented access to space, making the once-unreachable frontier accessible to all. Her innovative spirit and relentless pursuit of excellence are evident in her role as a member of the Biosphere 2 design team, where she lived for two years inside the sealed, self-sustaining habitat, leading the agriculture system that provided food, oxygen, and drinking water for the eight-member crew.
Jane's leadership extends beyond Space Perspective. As the Co-founder, Chairman, and President of Paragon Space Development Corporation, she has contributed environmental control technologies to every U.S. human spacecraft, including the International Space Station.
Her accolades are numerous, including receiving the Entrepreneur of the Year award from the National Association of Female Executives. Jane's work with the World Bank and United Nations on climate change-related projects showcases her commitment to global challenges, and her keynote speeches at events worldwide, including her TED Talk, inspire and motivate audiences.
Jane's contributions to space technology, her dedication to environmental sustainability, and her ability to break barriers and redefine possibilities make her a highly anticipated speaker at our summit. Her insights into the future of space travel and her unique perspective on innovation promise to be a highlight of the event.
