JoAnne Dukeshire
Senior Vice President of Business Enablement, Arcfield
According to Arcfield CEO Kevin Kelly, behind every winning government contracting business is a dedicated team of contracts, pricing and supply chain professionals that ensure operations run smoothly and strategies are legally and financially sound. So, it was a no-brainer that to maximize the synergies between these functional areas, they would unify them.
To accomplish this, Arcfield named JoAnne Dukeshire as senior vice president of business enablement. Since joining Arcfield in the middle of last year’s fourth quarter, Dukeshire considers her biggest recent achievement to be building a strong team that focuses on learning and executing industry best practices while adopting emerging technology.
Why Watch
In 2024, Dukeshire’s team is heavily focused on developing innovative ways to operate more efficiently through the use of technology, including artificial intelligence for workflows, contract management, pricing and vendor management.
As Arcfield continues to build on the momentum gained from its two recent acquisitions, Dukeshire and the business enablement organization will be pivotal in supporting the business through its continued growth.
Fun fact: Dukeshire has a soon-to-be 4-year-old daughter who loves trains. When she’s not at work, you can usually find Dukeshire scoping out the nearest mall for a kiddie train for her little one to ride.
