About

A career built inside the space community

Geraldine Moser is a communications and marketing professional with a twenty-year international career spanning education, research and the space sector. For fourteen years she was Head of Communications and Business Development at the International Space University (ISU) in Strasbourg, where she developed and implemented the university’s international communication and marketing strategy, managed branding, media relations and outreach, designed its fundraising campaigns and ran its worldwide alumni community.

Her career began in B2B marketing at Xerox in Zurich and London. She joined ISU in 2005 as Communications Coordinator for the Space Studies Program in Vancouver and went on to coordinate the university’s Executive Development Programs. Over two decades at ISU she supported five Presidents of five nationalities, four of them seconded from space agencies, worked alongside colleagues from ESA, NASA and JAXA, and provided support to astronauts in residence including Chiaki Mukai, Jean-Jacques Favier, Jeff Hoffman, Claudie Haigneré, Sergei Krikalev, Nicole Stott, Paolo Nespoli, André Kuipers and Pedro Duque.

Trilingual in English, French and German, she combines strategic communication with the practical craft of events, protocol and institutional relations: from a royal opening ceremony at ESA ESTEC to board meetings, official visits and, most recently, the main stage of the first International Space Summit in Paris. She holds a Master’s in International Marketing Management from EM Strasbourg and completed the ESSEC Women’s Leadership Program in 2025.
