Growing up in a small town in the desert of Kazakhstan, Galina witnessed rocket launches in her backyard and fell in love with technology and the limitless potential of humanity. She came to appreciate how people from disparate backgrounds come together for a common goal, working together despite cultural and language barriers. Outside of work, Galina can be at the stables with her beloved horses.
