Sharon Claridge
Vice President & Chief Security Officer, Booz Allen
Sharon Claridge takes particular pride in launching Booz Allen’s new Cross Border Travel capability. This innovative system simplifies employee reporting, automates foreign travel reporting to the government and ensures compliance with security regulations. It supports the firm’s international operations and provides accurate payroll and tax calculations for employees working in over 117 countries and territories globally.
“Trust and collaboration are what make our team so adaptable and resilient,” she said. “They take constant focus to maintain but they are essential to success.”
Why Watch
In 2024, Claridge’s team is continuing to find novel ways to detect and deter constantly evolving threats to keep its people, business operations and client missions safe and secure.
“Keeping ahead of escalating threats in a world of rising geopolitical tensions, and at the pace of digital transformation, is no easy feat,” said Jennifer Wagner, executive vice president and chief administrative officer of Booz Allen. “We’re grateful to have a leader like Sharon, and her infinitely flexible, adaptable team, doing the hard work to protect our clients’ missions and our business.”
Fun fact: When not helping Booz Allen and its clients secure the future, Claridge is exploring the past. “I’m an archaeology news nerd and love treasure hunting for art and antiques to upcycle as special pieces for my now-adulting kids,” she said.
