Shawn McGruder

Sr. Associate General Counsel, EEO Office

The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory

For over 25 years, Ms. Shawn McGruder has applied her finance and legal background to analyzing and mitigating business and litigation risks. Ms. McGruder has offered strategic business advice for agency heads, chief executive officers, C-Suite executives, and senior leaders in large, geographically dispersed private and federal government entities with 8,000 to 100,000 staff and $3 Billion to $1 Trillion budgets. She has advised on strategy, risk management, legal compliance, human resources, and government affairs across industries: Service Delivery, Agriculture, Aerospace & Defense, and STEM research. Ms. McGruder brings experience as a thought leader and regional director on non-profit boards. She would be delighted to join a corporate or private board and lead any committee. Ms. McGruder serves as Senior Associate General Counsel and Principal Equal Employment Opportunity Officer at The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (APL), a university-affiliated research center. She drives results with Thorough, Energetic, and Authentic servant leadership.

Ms. McGruder began her multi-disciplinary legal career in federal government service--starting with internships in legal offices for the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC), the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), and the Social Security Administration (SSA), where she began her legal career in earnest after graduating from law school and simultaneously passing two bar examinations. She began working on ethics, fraud, and account churning issues during her internships. She became a litigator of complex individual and class action cases, a Special Assistant U.S. Attorney, and proceeded through increasingly responsible leadership roles. Ultimately, her last government positions were senior executive service (SES) leadership positions with the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

Agriculture runs through her blood. She is the product of a marriage between 1) a mother who was the first in her immediate family from Anderson, SC, to attend college (paid for with the earnings of her sharecropper parents and siblings); and 2) a father whose proud McGruder family had amassed over 300 acres of land in rural Hale County, AL, which was no easy feat for Black men in the late 1800s.

A native of Columbia, Maryland, she enjoys spa vacations, yoga, and dance. She has been certified as a cardio kickboxing instructor. She brings strong interpersonal skills & a unique combination of experience and youthful energy to each undertaking.
