Top Cloud Executives to Watch in 2025

Jenn Bergstrom

Vice President, Cloud and Data Solutions, Parsons Corp.

Jenn Bergstrom launched Parsons’ Bright Sky Federal Cloud Strategy, established Parsons’ Cloud Center of Excellence and rolled out a cloud certification initiative across the federal segment that more than doubled the number of cloud-certified individuals in nine months.

This upskilling initiative was powered by a blend of tactics to enable it to reach employees across every discipline and is deepening Parsons’ cloud expertise and culture of innovation. The CCoE team has provided subject matter expertise and support to more than 20 programs, research and development efforts and business pursuits in 2024.

“Balancing internal cloud expertise with strategic partnerships and deep human, mission and customer understanding helps us lead the field in delivering cloud-enabled technology and capabilities,” Bergstrom said. “Parsons’ investment in the Cloud Center of Excellence demonstrates our dedication to bringing our customers optimized, agile solutions for their most critical needs.”

Why Watch

In 2025, Bergstrom’s team is focused on continuing to grow Parsons’ Cloud Center of Excellence staff and services, further enhancing Parsons’ capability to provide secure, efficient, maintainable and resilient AI systems across multiple cloud service providers and security levels for customers.

The demand for data-driven, performant, secure, sustainable and ethical AI technologies and models is built into Parsons’ cloud strategy and delivered ahead of mission need. Bergstrom’s team will continue to expand its cloud-enabled business, transforming the battlespace across land, sea, air, space and cyber domains.

Ryan Gabriele, senior vice president of defense and intelligence for Parsons, said Bergstrom’s cloud leadership is internationally recognized. Having completed all AWS certifications, Bergstrom is an AWS Ambassador who delivers keynote talks and presentations.

“Jenn is involved in every facet of Parsons’ cloud strategy, including responsibilities ranging from partnership management, employee upskilling campaigns, direct customer support as well as the solutioning of new cloud-based capabilities within Parsons,” he said. “She is an incredible exemplar for the type of technical excellence we look for in our senior leaders, and we’re grateful to have her on the team at Parsons.”

Fun fact: When Bergstrom was choosing what degree to pursue for her undergraduate education, she was torn between graphic art and electrical engineering. “I ended up choosing electrical engineering and got the best of both worlds in my career path,” she said. “Cloud technologies require a fundamentally creative approach to solutioning, and an exquisitely architected cloud strategy is a work of art.”
