Dr Alice Bunn OBE

Chief Executive, Institution of Mechanical Engineers

I am motivated by maximising the tremendous power of science and technology for the benefit of society. I have worked in the public sector for the majority of my career, in the space sector for much of the last 25 years. I have strong and effective interpersonal and negotiation skills proven in national, European and global leadership contexts, as evidenced by my election to a number of international leadership roles. I have led and implemented governance reform at organisational, national and international levels. I have a technical background with excellent communication skills, as evidenced in my contribution to the TEDx London series (How diplomacy in space can inspire cooperation on Earth | TED Talk). I regularly act as spokesperson for, and convenor of, wider public debate on space through mainstream media such as BBC, radio 4 and Skynews. I enjoy being part of, as well as managing and motivating, successful and productive teams
