Seizing Opportunity with GSOA’s Isabelle Mauro

When opportunity comes knocking, will you be ready to grasp it? Isabelle Mauro is the Director General of the GSOA, which is recognized as the representative body for satellite operators globally. Isabelle is a passionate advocate of technological access and inclusion for women and girls around the world.

Previously, Isabelle spent seven years at the World Economic Forum or WEF, where she acted as Head of Information, Communications & Technology Industries. In this role, she spent her time advancing the digital inclusion and digital transformation agenda. She also does this through her work with Women In Tech, an organization that seeks to equip women and girls with the skills they need to succeed in STEM. Isabelle had a formative moment early in her career when she saw how women in Bangladesh were using mobile phones to help their communities and even create businesses. Having originally worked in European politics, this was a big career change that took her all over the world. Isabelle took the plunge and moved to New York from London to take on her role at the WEF. This change allowed her to explore a new side of herself and encouraged her to meet new people and try a whole host of new things.
