Owen Mangan, Principal Partner, West Lake Consulting

Mr. Mangan is a 25-year software industry veteran and an accomplished technologist. In 1994 Owen joined Peoplesoft as one of the first employees in New England. In his first year Owen received the coveted “Outstanding Contributor Award” for excellence and dedication to customer service. As Peoplesoft grew from a startup to a world-class ERP company Owen gained responsibility for various departments and regions, including personally installing Peoplesoft at more than 60 customers across North America and Europe. Owen has presented at numerous industry conferences and Regional Users Groups on installing, upgrading and supporting Peoplesoft Human Resources and Financials.

After 11 years at Peoplesoft Owen realized if the dedicated Peoplesoft customer base were to continue with the brand, they would need access to experienced consultants without the higher rates. This led Owen to start the Peoplesoft arm of West Lake Consulting in 2005. Customers jumped on board quickly recognizing the benefit Owen brings as a seasoned Peoplesoft and industry expert.

Owen holds an AS from Sylvania Technical School and studied MIS at Northeastern University in Boston.
