On April 10, Claroty, the cyber-physical systems (CPS) protection company, announced the appointment of Jen Sovada as general manager of the public sector, as well as several milestones in the company’s continued investment in the U.S. public sector. Sovada will lead sales and strategy for Claroty’s federal government and State, Local, and Education (SLED) teams and continue to advance Claroty’s platforms to support unique public sector missions.
A retired U.S. Air Force Colonel, Sovada brings deep expertise in intelligence, technology, and national security, having led organizations such as the Air Force Technical Applications Center over her 25-year service career. Additionally, Jen served as president of SandboxAQ’s Global Public Sector and is the founder and CEO of Boadicea Solutions, a company focused on the intersection of emerging technology, growth strategies and talent management in the global public sector. She also is an associate professor of quantum information sciences and national security at Georgetown University, is on the National Security Institute Cyber and Tech Center (NSI CTC) Tech Leaders and Innovators Council at George Mason’s Scalia Law School, and is a member of the board of directors for the Intelligence and National Security Alliance.
“I’m thrilled to be welcoming Jen to her new role at Claroty,” said Derek Phillips, chief revenue officer at Claroty. “We continue to grow rapidly in the Public Sector across customers, product development, headcount, and revenue, and require the support of leaders who can guide our teams along this exciting trajectory—Jen brings a level of experience and expertise to support that mission.”
“As government agencies increasingly become attractive targets for foreign adversaries, it is more critical than ever that those supporting cyber-physical systems remain vigilant and adopt the appropriate cybersecurity measures and technologies,” said Sovada. “Claroty is uniquely positioned to provide the level of protection necessary to safeguard public entities, and I look forward to being a part of the company’s journey.”
