Shaunna Sowell is currently responsible for TI's worldwide design for environment, safety and health programs. These initiatives have saved the company millions of dollars and enabled TI to return more than $50 million worth of resources to a sustainable economy through various resource conservation programs such as non-hazardous solid waste recycling, chemical reduction and reuse, and energy conservation. The program was nationally and internationally recognized with 15 prestigious awards in 1997 alone.

In the course of her career, Ms. Sowell has also served as TI's first female wafer fab construction project manager and the first female wafer fab facilities operations manager. She was profiled in Women's Engineering magazine in 1992.

Ms. Sowell is a founding member of the first diversity initiative at TI. This initiative fostered the professional development of women and minorities who have been underrepresented in technical fields. She now leads a project to deploy a formal mentoring plan for Corporate Services team members. Ms. Sowell has also developed a mentoring relationship with the principal of a local elementary school, contributing business strategies to address challenges associated with managing a school. Additionally, through her leadership and nurturing of the JASON Project, the wonders of science and technology have been brought to hundreds of children who would never otherwise have had the exposure or opportunity to learn.
