Donna Goodwin
@donnagoodwin
I am a program management consultant bridging strategy and delivery.
What I'm looking for
I am an experienced consultant with a strong executive presence who bridges strategy design and implementation for federal and commercial clients. I help leaders visualize how today's decisions support long-term organizational goals.
I advise federal agency senior executives on strategy, portfolio management, and operational improvements, including a Human Capital Management transformation impacting more than 40,000 people. I have recommended strategic programming of investment portfolio resources exceeding $2 billion and monitored program executions to keep equities within baselined cost and schedule thresholds. I also managed the Integrated Master Schedule for an enterprise ARCHIBUS® implementation.
I drive measurable improvements by developing governance frameworks, standard operating procedures, and decision-support tools that align implementation trade-offs with cost, performance, and schedule objectives. I reduced contract invoicing cycle time from 90 days to 10 days, completed a SWOT that improved award fee scores from 40% to 88%, and increased corporate training program baselines by over $6 million per year. I combine quantitative analysis with stakeholder engagement to secure executive buy-in.
My background includes federal civil service where I managed an annual budget exceeding $100 million and provided multidisciplinary support across finance, logistics, HR, security, facilities, and project management. I hold an MBA, PMP certification, graduate certificates in organizational change and diversity & inclusion, and I am pursuing Public Health Informatics at Johns Hopkins.
