Senior🎓
Top SchoolFederica Moscato is a collaborative, delivery-focused leader with over 18 years at the intersection of Earth Observation, geospatial intelligence, and national-scale digital infrastructure, now heading Earth Observation at CEDA, RAL Space. She combines hands-on software and engineering management experience—from early software roles at Fermilab and ASI Science Data Center to programme leadership at Airbus Defence and Space and the Satellite Applications Catapult—to turn complex satellite data into trusted, operational services. Comfortable working across government, academia, and industry, she builds inclusive partnerships that make innovation practical and impactful for public-good use cases. Known for translating technical complexity into measurable progress, she blends a physicist’s analytic rigour (MSc, Sapienza) with product-minded delivery to scale national and international EO capabilities. An underrated strength is her track record of shifting between hands-on engineering and strategic programme delivery, enabling teams to move from prototypes to resilient, operational systems.
