Julia Gottfriedsen

The digital representation of our planet is only as good as the data that feeds it. Julia Gottfriedsen has dedicated her career to raising that standard, working at the intersection of deep technical ambition and real-world impact across some of the most influential organizations in the space sector. With roles at NASA JPL, ESA, DLR and Siemens, and most recently leading the data science department at OroraTech, she has built and scaled high-performing teams at the frontier of Earth observation where technical rigor meets market reality. Her focus spans the full data chain, from upstream sensing to downstream applications, with one constant: delivering the data quality and readiness that a true representation of the Earth from space demands to support decisions on ground.
