In June 2013 , British Airways hosted UnGrounded , a group of business leaders and creative thinkers who met to address significant global problems . Whurley was one of 100 passengers to take part in the initiative , which took place on an 11-hour transatlantic flight from Silicon Valley to London . His group worked on strategies for getting more women involved in STEM fields ( science , technology , engineering and mathematics ) . The passengers later presented their ideas as part of an innovation conference held during the 39th G8 summit , as well as to the United Nations ' International Telecommunications Union
