Background

About Mark Matula

With over a decade of experience in IT, I specialize in application management and support, development, system integration, and IT strategy. As an Independent Management Consultant, I help organizations optimize their technology investments, ensuring alignment with business objectives, compliance and standards to drive measurable value and long-term success. Previously, as Senior Manager of Applications at Enterprise Products, I led a cross-functional team overseeing a portfolio of over 100 custom and vendor-supported applications across multiple departments. I was responsible for ensuring seamless application support and high-quality customer service, driving issue resolution, and enhancing system reliability. I spearheaded team restructurings to improve collaboration/software coding standards, streamlined processes, and increased visibility through Scrum/Agile methodologies, KPIs, and high-level management reporting to VPs and senior leadership. I also managed capital projects with in-house and offshore teams while delivering significant cost savings through vendor application negotiations. Beyond leadership and IT strategy, I have deep expertise in SOX compliance, IT audits (internal and external), and IT governance. I have extensive experience in budgeting, forecasting, and budget variance analysis, ensuring financial accountability and alignment with business goals. My expertise also includes disaster recovery planning, Agile and Scrum methodologies, and enterprise risk management. Passionate about technology modernization, operational efficiency, and strategic partnerships, I thrive in complex IT environments where leadership, innovation, and execution come together to create tangible business impact.
