In the dual role, Goodwine is expected to guide Arlo’s enterprise technology strategy, drive digital transformation priorities, and help shape product development efforts tied to cybersecurity, data modernization, and AI-enabled capabilities. She will report to Chief Executive Officer Lonye Ford, according to the company.
Goodwine joins Arlo with more than three decades of information technology experience spanning private industry, military service, and federal government leadership.

The company also highlighted Goodwine’s track record in national security and technology leadership, citing a range of industry and government honors, including a Presidential Rank Award (Meritorious) and multiple leadership awards tied to public-private collaboration.
