Bowen has served as vice president, general counsel and corporate secretary since 2014, leading MITRE's legal engagements, government relations and ethics and compliance programs.
"As we address new challenges at both the national and global level, Julie will take on a broader role in engaging with MITRE's Board of Trustees, managing risks that come with growing the company's work programs across sponsor organizations, and leading efforts to expand strategic partnerships, outreach efforts and government relationships," said Dr. Jason Providakes, MITRE's president and chief executive officer.
