Top SchoolSmita Satiani is an independent climate, science, and technology advisor with over a decade of experience helping moonshot projects, governments, and philanthropies move from prototype to real-world deployment. She spent 6.5 years at X (formerly Google X) leading policy and public affairs for early-stage climate and connectivity ventures across the U.S., India, and Africa, and has since advised organizations including Schmidt Futures, Pasture Biosciences, and Project InnerSpace.
