Ann Dunkin
Golden Gov: Executive of the Year
Ann Dunkin returned to federal service in 2021 as the chief information officer of the Department of Energy. In the 18 months in that role, Dunkin has led a transformation of the department’s IT, namely through efforts to scale smaller innovative successes across her highly federated department and the larger federal government. To support the scaling of IT modernization across Energy — and the federal government writ large — Dunkin and her colleague Greg Godbout published a playbook to “help organizations increase the velocity, speed, and scale of modernization efforts, create efficiencies, and make a greater impact.”
