As a Principal Consultant at TASK Consultants, Sudz currently advises CIOs and CDOs of Fortune 1000 companies on technology strategy, data strategy, and business transformation. Recent engagements have included leading a data and automation innovation workstream that identified and developed 80+ data product ideas into funded prototypes, supporting the development of an enterprise data strategy spanning architecture, governance, BI, and data monetization, and developing the value case for company-wide Microsoft 365 Copilot adoption.

Most recently, at Whole Foods Market (Amazon), Sudz served as Head of IT for all back-office functions — managing a $35M+ budget and leading a 70+ person team in the delivery, maintenance, and support of 60+ systems used by 100,000+ team members across 500+ locations in the US, Canada, and UK. His portfolio included enterprise platforms such as Workday, Coupa, and UKG (Kronos), spanning Finance, HR, Procurement, Workforce Scheduling & Timekeeping, Store Construction, and Repairs & Maintenance.

During his tenure, he directed the multi-year digital transformation of back-office platforms — replacing PeopleSoft and SAP BPC with a full-suite implementation of Workday Financials and Workday FPM, strengthening a brittle Workday HCM implementation, consolidating three planning tools into Workday Planning, replacing an obsolete Store Construction application with Procore, and automating the manual procurement of indirect goods and services company-wide with Coupa.

Previously, as an independent consultant, Sudz led enterprise systems and transformation programs for Fortune 500 energy and healthcare clients — Baker Hughes, ConocoPhillips, Phillips 66, and Texas Children’s Health Plan — including an 11-month SAP PRA/Quorum implementation recognized by SAP as one of the fastest of its kind, and system separations supporting two corporate spinoffs and an MLP IPO.

Earlier in his career, as an Executive at Accenture, Sudz led design, development, and delivery of SAP R/3 environments in global rollouts for Fortune 100 energy clients.

Before transitioning to a career in enterprise IT, Sudz held executive roles with operational and commercial accountability at VC and PE-backed entrepreneurial ventures. He founded and led Wireless Works, bootstrapping the company with $10K in seed capital, reaching operational profitability within six months, and growing it to a $50M annual run rate in mobile device reverse logistics and distribution. He also served as VP of Operations and Sales at Flipswap, leading the operational turnaround that preceded the company’s acquisition. Earlier, as VP of Business Development at PolyVista, he built enterprise software distribution channels and sold seven-figure licenses to Fortune 500 clients.

Much of what makes Sudz effective as a technology executive traces back to that entrepreneurial chapter — building companies, carrying P&L accountability, and developing a ground-level understanding of what technology must do to advance the goals of the business it serves.

Sudz holds an M.S. in Analytics from Texas A&M University and an M.S. in Computer Science from The University of Texas at Austin. He earned his B.A. in Computer Science magna cum laude from Coe College, where he was elected to Phi Beta Kappa and completed an honors thesis on fuzzy logic in autonomous robot navigation — research conducted in collaboration with Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
