With a degree in aerospace engineering, Harleen started her career at NASA where she worked on the Pluto-bound spacecraft New Horizons. She went on to join a startup in Berlin, working on earth-observation satellites well before Elon Musk thought it was cool. The technology had a wide range of uses including helping insurance companies spot fraud, cities locate leaking pipes, and farmers to grow better grains. Inspired by the rapid growth and innovation of the startup world, Harleen enrolled at INSEAD, one of the top global MBA programs. She was later recruited to Rolls-Royce where she became the youngest and first female vice president in their jet engine division. After working in an area as complex as the the universe itself, Harleen found it unimaginable that we don’t have an easy way to assess the facts about what’s happening on our planet. She looked at the media landscape, plagued by sensationalism, outrage, and manipulative algorithms, and knew there was a better way. In 2017, Harleen co-founded Ground News to empower readers with objective data so they can compare news coverage and have a well-rounded worldview.
