Kiriti Rambhatla. CEO of Metakosmos — the award-winning SpaceTech company building next-generation EVA suits and human spaceflight systems. Former Head of Emerging Tech at LinkedIn. Innovation strategist, Forbes-published author, Apple TV documentary subject, and global keynote speaker.
If your mission is at the frontier — let's talk.
I don't do generic strategy decks. I bring 20+ years of hands-on systems thinking — from designing EVA suits to scaling AI platforms at LinkedIn. If your challenge lives at the edge of what's possible, that's exactly where I want to be.
You're betting on a technology that doesn't have a playbook yet. I've been there — building spacesuit systems, deploying AI at scale, engineering RF networks in East Africa. Let's pressure-test your roadmap with someone who's shipped in the real world.
Let's Talk →Building something in human spaceflight, aerospace, or dual-use defense tech? Metakosmos is actively seeking mission-aligned partners, primes, and agencies who want to push hardware from concept to operational readiness.
Contact Metakosmos →I've spoken at TEDx, the European Commission, the Australian Space Summit, Avalon Airshow, Indo Pacific Maritime, and the International Astronautical Congress. Real stories from the frontier — not slides recycled from last year's conference.
Book a Talk →I've taken ideas from napkin sketch to orbit-ready hardware. Most advisors haven't.
My career is a straight line from aircraft maintenance engineering to spacesuits — with stops in telecom engineering in Tanzania, innovation labs in Italy, and AI leadership at one of the world's most influential tech companies. That breadth isn't a distraction. It's the whole point.
I created the Strategic Innovation Cube — a framework for evaluating technology readiness and innovation ecosystems — published in Forbes and cited globally. I know how to build. I know how to scale. And I know how to tell the story that gets it funded.
