2025 Government Eagle Award: Venice Goodwine
Briefly

Venice Goodwine's career progressed from signals intelligence in the Air Force to becoming the chief information officer, where she significantly transformed the IT landscape. Managing a $17 billion portfolio, she led initiatives to eliminate redundant IT services and aligned IT delivery with strategic goals. Goodwine championed collaboration and responsiveness, improving technological support for military operations. She emphasizes the importance of leadership understanding in leveraging technology effectively, and she takes particular pride in fostering a skilled civilian workforce in the Cyber and Information Technology field within the Air Force.
I'm fortunate that the Department of the Air Force's senior leaders 'get it.' They are focused on bringing cutting-edge technology to the warfighter to improve lethality and readiness, eradicating duplicative IT spend, and making the right IT investments for the enterprise.
Through it all, I was drawn to harnessing the power of information technology and helping my organizations leverage it to further their missions in support of our country.
