About Monica Philippart

I’m an Industrial Engineer specialized in Human Factors Engineering, but started my career as a Mechanical Engineer for the Space Shuttle Main Engines at the Kennedy Space Center. While at KSC, after completing a Masters in Industrial Engineering, I transitioned to Space Shuttle and International Space Station processing (preparing for launches, handling and loading payloads, return from space, etc). I also did some rocket (unmanned space flight) work. Seeing the end of the Shuttle era approach, I was fortunate to find another dream job, at Walt Disney World: Senior Industrial Engineer. That came to an end when my husband transitioned from Aerospace to Petroleum Engineering, and his first assignment took us to England. I then realized that I needed to make my job mobile and flexible for our growing family, so as I got closer to finishing my PhD, I started a consulting company. Since 2006, I have dedicated my career to help high risk industries (Oil & Gas, Aerospace and Nuclear) improve organizational performance through Human Performance optimization, Human Error prevention, Risk Management and Process Safety.
