Background

About Duffy Goodner

Results-driven Program Management Executive with 13+ years delivering complex initiatives across federal agencies, defense organizations, and the private sector. I specialize in navigating high-stakes environments where precision, compliance, and strategic vision are non-negotiable. At the Environmental Protection Agency, I oversee $180M in emergency response contracts, where I've reduced processing times by 34 weeks and prevented $100K+ in overcharges through process optimization. Previously at the US Air Force's Kessel Run, I managed a $350M portfolio balancing agile methodologies with federal acquisition regulations. My approach combines strategic portfolio management with tactical execution excellence. I thrive in environments requiring cross-functional leadership, having directed diverse teams across government and military operations. My background in federal contracts, security protocols (Secret clearance), and project management methodologies (agile, waterfall, hybrid) allows me to drive results while maintaining rigorous compliance. What sets me apart: I deliver significant efficiency gains through innovative process reengineering. Whether accelerating procurement velocity 8x above regional averages or reducing approval cycles by 70%, I identify opportunities others miss while maintaining stakeholder alignment. I'm passionate about transforming operations through strategic leadership and collaborative problem-solving.
