About Shawna Turner
At Nike, leadership in technology architecture has been a cornerstone of my contributions, with a focus on pioneering Secure by Design principles across Digital Twins, Generative AI, and Quantum Cloud computing. Our team has been pivotal in driving multi-year strategies, enabling clarity around sustainability, and fostering innovation within emerging technologies. During my time in architecture, I developed a strategic platform framework for Nike that mapped technical capabilities to the entire product lifecycle, enhancing collaboration across sports science, design, and manufacturing disciplines. I drove the creation of a logical architecture and data model for the sports science platform, which was a new to Nike idea that was brought to life from my work. Navigating complex projects from POCs to full-scale enterprise software, I have directed teams through strategic investments and roadmapping, ensuring technology maturity aligns with business imperatives. My tenure has seen the creation of resilient ecosystems, enhancing collaboration across disciplines and setting benchmarks in secure, cloud-native solutions.Multiple SANS white papers published. Six patents: US 71•••67, 70•••75, 77•••61, 20•••••••03, 20•••••••79, 20•••••••60.
