Ep 6 - Nadine Alameh - Standards, Dance & Geo Data Accessibility: Dr Nadine Alameh is the current CEO of the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC), which is probably best known for the work they provide around standards within the geospatial industry. In this episode we talk about Nadine's path from Lebanon to MIT, her experience working in aviation and finally we go over her current role as the CEO of the OGC. We also talk about dance, life decisions and Nadine shares some points about working with industries outside of pure geospatial that are leveraging geo data more & more. by Minds Behind Maps
