Bonnie Sharps serves as president of the Eastern US for Ken Clark International responsible for business development with KCI clients, a fitting role given her more than 26 years of experience in healthcare and technology at Shared Medical Systems (SMS) and Siemens Medical. Bonnie is based in the firm's Philadelphia office and joined KCI in 2005.

In May 2000, Siemens bought SMS. Bonnie was one of only four SMS executives to serve on the international integration team overseeing the merger. Following the successful completion of the phase one integration several months ahead of schedule, Bonnie was promoted to general manager over the physician office business. She was responsible for her division’s profit and loss and all product development, third-party product acquisition, sales, marketing, and professional and customer service performance.
In November 2002, Bonnie left Siemens to work with The Science Center, a Philadelphia incubator of startup companies. As an executive in residence spearheading the EIR program she helped design, Bonnie assisted more than thirty emerging growth companies, helping them transform their enterprises and achieve higher levels of performance.
