Description

As part of our continuing series on Space Law, Janna Lewis, Senior Vice President of Policy and General Counsel of Astroscale U.S., Inc. joins the podcast to chat with host M.C. Sungaila about her career journey from planning to become a medical doctor to attending law school, becoming a patent litigator and government contracts lawyer in private practice, and then moving inhouse within the space industry. Janna shares what it's like to lead the legal department at a cutting-edge space company pioneering space sustainability and orbital debris removal, how she serves as a thoughtful collaborator in her client's innovation, and one of her favorite mottos: "Be true to your future." This is an engaging and inspiring episode that should not be missed.
