Turner is based in McLean, VA, and leads MITRE’s inclusion and diversity (I&D) programs, oversees talent acquisition, and will establish a new function for social innovation programs.

Under her leadership, MITRE will maximize relationships with external organizations, whose perspectives are important in shaping our national social landscape, with an initial focus on STEM education in underserved communities.

I am pleased to welcome Stephanie Turner to lead this effort as a member of the MITRE leadership team.”

Turner brings 25 years of human resources leadership experience in strategic planning, professional development, process improvement, talent acquisition, multicultural marketing, and employee engagement for global brands. She most recently served as Vice President of Diversity and Inclusion Strategic Engagement at Liberty Mutual Insurance where she optimized sponsorships and brand presence at national diversity conferences, expanded national presence and increased membership in employee resource groups, established governance models to improve customer service, and launched a new employee referral program with talent acquisition.

“Stephanie is an accomplished leader with a track record of success developing and executing high impact inclusion and diversity programs and activities that strengthen culture and create an environment where talent can thrive, grow, and prosper,” said Kathleen Federico, MITRE senior vice president, chief human resources and strategic communications officer. “Stephanie will help MITRE grow our social innovation and talent engagement programs in the communities where we work and live.”

Her previous leadership roles include managing diversity and inclusion, talent acquisition, and employee engagement at Lockheed Martin, Kaiser Permanente, ESPN, and Motorola.
