>Elon Musk may be the CEO and the face of SpaceX, but by all accounts Shotwell calls the shots. She's in charge of the $1.6 billion contract with NASA to deliver supplies to the ISS, and of the company recently valued at $10 billion.

PHILANTHROPIC INTERESTS: STEM
The conference included a great deal of discussion about women in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) careers.
Megan Smith, vice president of GoogleX at Google; Maria Klawe, president of Harvey Mudd College; astronauts Cady Coleman and Mae Jemison and Gwynne Shotwell, president and chief operating officer of SpaceX spoke about the importance of encouraging girls to take an interest in STEM education and ultimately STEM-based careers.
From the Internet to space, a huge range of careers are based on STEM. Young girls need to start looking at that as an area they can and should focus on.

Only scandal I can find relating to Gwynne Shotwell regards firing of “whistleblower”
Jury Clears SpaceX of Wrongdoing in Firing of Employee
>He said he began seeing safety issues related to the testing procedures of rocket parts, leading him to question the quality of the testing and the risks it posed for not just the rockets potentially exploding, but for the potential loss of human life.
>Blasdell claimed he complained to SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, company President Gwynne Shotwell and to the firm's human resources department, alleging there were potentially dangerous deviations from protocol that his managers were pressuring test technicians to make.
