About

I’m Joseph Mathis, an IT project and program management consultant with 20+ years of experience delivering ERP and transformation initiatives across telecommunications, retail, and higher education. I’ve served as project manager, delivery manager, product owner, PMO lead, and change/training manager—helping teams build clarity early, align stakeholders, and drive execution from planning through testing and go-live.

Most recently, I led a Workday ERP implementation for a tier 1 university, partnering closely with client leadership and service providers to keep budgets, schedules, risks, and dependencies transparent. I’m also known for turning detailed program data into concise, actionable leadership updates and for setting a reliable governance cadence. With hands-on experience across SAP planning, Oracle Retail, and complex supply chain programs, plus experience working across cultures and time zones, I’m solution-oriented and focused on getting things delivered—right the first time.
