Jennifer Chronis

Jennifer Chronis’ journey to becoming a Best Boss in Federal IT wasn’t the most typical. She started her career in the U.S. Army’s 82nd Airborne Division, serving twice in combat theaters and earning recognition as jumpmaster after completing more than 40 jumps as a parachutist. Now as public sector vice president for VMware, Chronis is focused on helping federal customers in their multi-cloud journey and the drive for accelerated digital transformation. “Every single one of our customers in the public sector is dealing with so much change right now,” from the continued impacts of the pandemic on operations to the multiple mandates on cybersecurity at the federal level, Chronis said recently. “We know that all of our customers are moving to the cloud, and they’re moving to the cloud quickly. And a component of every customer’s digital transformation journey and cloud strategy is how to enable multi-cloud.”
