Ms. Praveen Sharma is an executive with more than two decades of leadership in cybersecurity, privacy, data and AI, and emerging technologies across regulated and mission-critical national security environments.

She has held senior leadership roles at Philips Healthcare, BD (Becton Dickinson), Xerox, Insulet, and Cubic Transportation Systems, where she built and scaled products as well as enterprise security, AI and data governance, and critical infrastructure protection programs.

Ms. Sharma’s leadership is grounded in deep technical expertise. Earlier in her career at MIT Lincoln Laboratory, MITRE, and Raytheon BBN, she designed software systems, large-scale data platforms, and advanced AI algorithms before AI became a widely-recognized strategic imperative; one of her AI innovations later transitioned into the startup ecosystem.

Beyond her corporate leadership, Ms. Sharma contributes to the broader technology community by volunteering within the MIT CIO symposium, and serving as a technology innovation advisor to nonprofit organizations.
