Judy Doyle, a city of Scottsdale employee for more than 22 years, has been promoted to oversee several city functions which share a business-oriented approach not common to other city operations. The move is part of recent reorganizations occurring after the departure of former Assistant City Manager Bill Murphy.

The areas Doyle will oversee, effective Feb. 10, are Scottsdale Airport (Aviation), Tourism & Events, WestWorld, McCormick-Stillman Railroad Park and Scottsdale Stadium.

“Judy is a very talented, people-oriented, go-getter who will bring a business perspective to important facilities and operations which are big parts of Scottsdale’s economy,” Interim City Manager Greg Caton said.

Caton looks forward to the potential synergies and efficiencies that will be created by organizing these functions under one leader.

“In Judy Doyle, we have an experienced leader with a unique combination of background and skills which are a great match for these city operations.”

She joined the city of Scottsdale in 2003 as a senior budget analyst, promoting to budget manager and then to budget director in 2009. She served as acting city treasurer for nine months. Judy has been the community services assistant executive director since July 2023, responsible for the division’s planning & business operations, Scottsdale Library and Human Services. Judy also brings experience from positions with the State of Arizona and in the private sector.

She holds a bachelor’s degree in business management from the University of Minnesota-Duluth and a master’s of business administration from the University of Phoenix.

Judy is a member of the International City/County Management Association, American Library Association, and Arizona Women Leading Government. She is a member of Scottsdale Leadership, Class 39.
