On this episode of the Future Construct Podcast (30 min interview), we spotlight Jessie Mooberry (@mooberryj), Senior Technology & Innovation Advisor at Flight Safety Foundation (@FlightSafetyFoundation), as she joins Amy Peck (@VirtualGirlNY) to discuss:

  • Ways to seamlessly integrate technology into the current industry processes and how to dispel fear about technology replacing the human factor
  • Switching gears from her work at NASA to opening and operating a coffee/wine bar
  • The expansion of the digital nomad lifestyle and the differences between local and global cultures
  • How close the future of personal air transportation could be and the potential impacts on the way we travel between cities

Prior to her time at the Flight Safety Foundation, Jessie worked as the Head of Development at Airbus for 3 years, the Vice Director at Uplift Aeronautics for almost 2 years, and an Entrepreneur in Residence & Technologist at the Peace Innovation Lab at Stanford University.
