Mike Massimino is a New York Times bestselling author, television commentator, international speaker, and consultant for the space industry and entertainment sectors. A former astronaut, he is known for his expertise and experience, having completed two missions to the Hubble Space Telescope. One of these missions included the final Hubble servicing mission, widely regarded as one of the most dangerous and complex in space shuttle history. During his time in space, he set a team record with his crewmates for the most cumulative spacewalking hours on a single mission. Massimino is often cited as the real-life inspiration for George Clooney’s character in the movie Gravity.

Beyond his work in space, Mike Massimino is also a passionate storyteller and speaker who uses humor to inspire audiences. He encourages people to find passion in their work, leverage teamwork and innovation to overcome challenges, and lead with resilience in times of crisis. His engaging style motivates others to stay committed when pursuing their goals. Mike holds a Bachelor of Science from Columbia University and a Ph.D. from MIT. He currently lives in New York City, where he teaches as a professor at Columbia University.

Keynote Topics

The Team's Success is Your Success

You cannot do this alone, you will succeed or fail as a team. Give help when you can, get help when you need it. When members of your team don’t share your strengths, don’t treat this as a burden. Help pull them up when you can and focus on their strengths to set them up for success.

Being Resilient and Adaptable in Times of Change; Get Ready to Pivot

Change is a constant, be ready to adapt. When we embrace change and new technology, we put ourselves on a path to greatness.

Diversity of Thought Is Needed to Achieve the Impossible

If everyone on a team thinks alike, complex problems will remain unsolved. Bringing together a team of diverse thinkers opens up new possibilities, fosters innovative solutions, and leads to important discoveries. Despite careful planning and preparation, unexpected challenges can always arise, but a diverse team is better equipped to handle whatever comes their way. If everyone had thought the same way, we might never have achieved monumental feats like landing on the moon or building the Hubble Telescope. Encourage constructive debate and diverse perspectives in team discussions to drive creativity and problem-solving.

Awesome, awe inspiring, brilliant speaker, incredible man. I learned so much, not just about resilience, It was like a masterclass in leadership, humility and presenting all rolled into one enthralling session.

- Roche Pharmaceuticals

Mike - thanks again for speaking at our meeting today. I can’t tell you how many people have come up to me raving about your talk and reciting some of your stories. For me, I really appreciated not only that you spent a big chunk of the day listening to some of our presentations but also wove them into your own talk to reinforce your key messages. We could not have asked for a better keynote speaker to cap off the day.

- Cook Vascular

Mike never gives the same talk twice, and enjoys working with each client to craft a talk that will include stories that will hit the mark for their event!
