Matthew H. Schwartz

Chief Executive Officer @ Worksoft

About

Matthew Schwartz is the CEO of a private equity-backed enterprise software company, with over 30 years of experience building and scaling businesses across the SAP and broader enterprise technology ecosystem. He focuses on driving value creation in B2B software through go-to-market transformation, strategic partnerships, and aligning product and commercial strategy to enterprise customer needs. His work centers on improving growth quality, expanding margins, and positioning companies for successful ownership transitions and long-term enterprise value. Matthew has also supported private equity firms on commercial diligence and value creation planning for prospective software investments, providing an operator’s perspective on growth, product-market fit, and execution risk. He is particularly focused on the implications of AI in enterprise environments. As AI systems increasingly execute actions across core business processes, organizations will require continuous validation that those processes are functioning correctly. His perspective centers on “AI assurance” ensuring that automated transactions produce the intended business outcomes across complex systems, and that innovation does not introduce operational risk. In addition to his operating role, Matthew is building relationships for board and advisory roles where he can contribute his experience in scaling enterprise software businesses and supporting management teams. Prior to Worksoft, he led the global SAP alliance and partner network at Amazon Web Services (AWS), and held senior leadership roles at IBM, SAP, and EY.
