Career Profile


Sudz Khawaja has built his career as a trusted leader, and is frequently sought out by his leaders in the Office of the CIO/CDO with responsibilities, even when he’s new to them, and consistently exceeds expectations delivering on that trust.

Sudz is the President of TASK Consultants, a boutique consulting firm advising the executive teams of companies engaged in the mobile telecommunications and software industries and supporting the IT leadership teams of Fortune 500 companies with business transformation projects.

Most recently, at Whole Foods Market (Amazon), Sudz served as the de facto 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), which were used across Finance, HR, Procurement, Workforce Scheduling & Timekeeping, Store Construction, and Repairs & Maintenance. During his tenure at Whole Foods Market, 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, optimizing an aging and brittle implementation of Workday HCM, 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, Sudz was CEO of Wireless Works, a distributor and logistic services provider in the wireless telecommunications industry, providing the most comprehensive suite of forward and reverse logistics services, extended warranty and insurance solutions, as well as mobile devices and prepaid products to wireless carriers, specialty wireless retailers, and big-box national retailers. Under his leadership, the company established itself as one of the leading logistic service providers in the industry and built a reputation for providing high quality products and services. Sudz led Wireless Works from its inception in 2002 to a $50MM run-rate in revenue.

Earlier in his career, as an Executive at Accenture, Sudz managed global teams in developing and deploying enterprise systems for leading energy companies including Enron, Halliburton, and Tenneco.

A magna cum laude graduate of Coe College in Iowa, he earned a B.A. in Computer Science and was elected to Phi Beta Kappa. Sudz also holds an M.S. in Computer Science from the University of Texas at Austin and an M.S. in Data Analytics from Texas A&M University.
