Pooja Mahapatra is Global Lead - Geospatial with Fugro. Her passion lies in applying geospatial data to make a meaningful impact on real-world problems. Since 2019, she has worked on commercializing a variety of cutting-edge Fugro innovations, with applications ranging from coastal resilience to railway track maintenance. Through Fugro, she is an active member of the Disaster Resilience Working Group of the WGIC. From 2016 to 2019, she led the global technology deployment efforts in the geospatial domain at Shell, contributing to their digital transformation journey, and resulting in measurable improvements in efficiency and HSSE exposure reduction. Pooja holds a PhD in satellite remote sensing from TU Delft, on measuring millimetric levels of ground subsidence (InSAR). Her work focused on enhancing the applicability of InSAR and connecting subsidence measurements to other phenomena such as sea-level rise. She authored several peer-reviewed journal publications, gave invited lectures and won awards for the economic potential of her research. She also contributed to many international educational initiatives such as training African scientists on Earth Observation for water management. With her educational background in space technology, her interests go beyond “geo” – she spent time at the European Space Agency working on prototype Mars rover instruments, testing at Martian analogue sites. She has been an active member of the Netherlands Space Society (NVR) for over a decade.

​Greg Demchak is an agent of change who is passionate about the role of technology with respect to how the built environment is designed, constructed, and operated. Educated as an architect at MIT, he has a deep appreciation for design, history, computation, and the evolution of design thinking. His design background has morphed into a focus on the user experience design for computer-based modeling systems, most notably Revit, Synchro, and the HoloLens. Greg has developed skills in agile product management, user experience design, hackathons, and customer-driven innovation prototyping. He is starting a new project within Bentley Systems to lead an innovation lab dedicated to mashing up various technologies in order to discover impact. 

Simon Musäus, Vice President Business Development of Geospatial Content Solutions with Hexagon, is an experienced geospatial expert and international manager. After a career in the German Federal Armed Forces, he co-developed integrated location systems for autonomous rail traffic. Widening the horizons, he held various management and project positions on IFI-financed land-management projects in Latin America, Africa, and Europe. His multi-year contribution as Country Director India deepened his appreciation for efficient data supply-chains as part of the Danish COWI`s Airborne and Survey Division, which he led from 2013. Since 2020, he has focused on the transformation of operational and business models of public and private customers to benefit from airborne-collected geospatial data and connections with other geo data streams for digital twins. Simon believes in flexible adaptation of geospatial content, last generation sensors, and worldwide partnerships to achieve local optimization. His attention is on the development of strategies to make the access to the high-resolution geodata affordable and meaningful at country-level. With cooperation in mind, he co-founded the European Association of Aerial Surveying companies (EAASI) in 2019 and, through Hexagon, is member of the Public-Private-Partnership Working group at WGIC. Simon holds a Dr. of Business Administration from Walden University and a Master of Science in Engineering Surveying and Geodesy from the University of the Armed Forces, Munich.
