Chair of the OGC Board of Directors ; Strategic Advisor
Global Geospatial Group
Participates in 2 items

Prashant Shukle currently works with select, leading-edge, private sector companies in the advanced technology, geospatial and space sector. He facilitates strategic partnerships and mergers; positions his clients for private or public funding opportunities; provides lobbying and outreach services to government and large scale multi-national entities such as the United Nations and the World Bank; and, serves as a Board Director on international bodies.  Mr. Shukle also works at a national and international scale and also provides strategic advisory supports to national governments that are developing their geospatial and space capabilities.  His understanding of geopolitics and economics, and unique experience working at the highest political, governmental and private sector levels, gives him unique perspectives on the role of geospatial and space investments in the global economy.  

Mr. Shukle also served as the former Director-General of the Canada Centre of Mapping and Earth Observation (CCMEO), and Canada’s former Representative to the United Nations Global Group of Experts on Geospatial Information Management.  In these roles, Mr. Shukle played a critical national and leadership role in the policy design, governance implementation, organizational visioning and implementation of Canada’s geospatial and space and in-situ based earth observation capabilities.  He also was responsible for the legislative, policy and program design and implementation of Canada’s GeoConnections program, which provided CCMEO with national and international responsibility to envision and implement a leading-edge national spatial data infrastructure.  In this capacity, he provided visionary leadership which anticipated the convergence between space-based earth observation and monitoring capabilities, broadband and telecommunications, traditional GIS systems, and the emerging world of artificial intelligence and 3d visualisation.  He capped off his career by working on the successful launch of the Canada’s RadarSat Constellation Mission satellites.
