At SCIO’26, the CIO Council of South Florida is proud to present a powerful and timely conversation: the Women CIO Leadership Panel—a dynamic discussion featuring three accomplished technology executives who are shaping enterprise strategy at the highest levels.
Moderating the panel is Sharon Milz, Chief Information Officer at TIME and Vice President of the CIO Council. With more than two decades of experience leading digital transformation, operational modernization, and enterprise innovation, Sharon brings a strategic and business-aligned perspective to every conversation. Recognized as a SouthFloridaCIO ORBIE finalist and CIO of the Quarter, she is widely respected for translating technology into measurable business value. Beyond her executive role, Sharon is a strong advocate for collaboration and advancing women in technology leadership.
Joining Sharon are two exceptional leaders:
Tricia Ferreira, Senior Vice President of Technology Product Management at World Kinect, serves as the company’s Chief Product Officer. With over 25 years of experience across Fortune 150 organizations including General Electric and World Kinect, Tricia is known for driving digital revenue models, leading acquisition integrations, and delivering enterprise-scale transformation. An anticipative innovator and ORBIE Award recipient (Super Global), she elevates performance across global teams through disciplined, value-driven leadership. She also maintains strong ties to the academic and technology community through advisory roles at FIU and SouthFloridaCIO.
Shawna Cartwright, Business Information Officer and SVP of Enterprise Technology at Cushman & Wakefield, leads enterprise applications, AI, data analytics, and integrated program delivery across critical business functions. With more than 25 years of global enterprise experience, Shawna is recognized for bridging business and technology while building high-performing teams that deliver sustainable results. Deeply committed to STEM education and mentorship, she actively supports scholarship initiatives and serves as an industry advisor to Nova Southeastern University.
Together, this panel represents strategic leadership in action—executives influencing boardrooms, modernizing enterprise systems, and creating measurable impact across global organizations.
The Women CIO Leadership Panel is not simply a conversation about technology. It is a discussion about leadership—how to navigate complexity, drive transformation responsibly, cultivate high-performing teams, and expand opportunity for the next generation of leaders.
At its core, this panel reflects the mission of the CIO Council: elevating executive leadership while investing in the future of technology talent in South Florida.
If you want to hear directly from leaders who are shaping enterprise strategy and advancing opportunity across our region, you need to be in the room.
