Paola Santana is the co-founder and COO of Matternet, a company that builds small, robust drones that can transport lightweight goods. Matternet has worked with humanitarian organizations to help transport objects such as medicines, blood samples, and paperwork in remote areas of the world.
Born and raised in the Dominican Republic, Paola came to Washington DC on a Fulbright scholarship to study politics. After realizing that the pace of politics was too slow for the change she wanted to make, Paola changed paths and moved into technology.
Inspired by her family, the "everyday heroes" in the world, and the people she works with, Paola is determined to change the world.
