Danny Mathis

Danny Mathis approaches leadership through the responsibilities that matter most to him: his faith in Jesus Christ, his family, and the people entrusted to his care. A husband and father of two daughters, he believes success carries an obligation to serve others, honor commitments, and use experience in ways that help people grow.

Raised in a family where hard work was expected, Danny built his career through nearly three decades of practical experience across restaurants, brewing, hospitality, foodservice distribution, redistribution, and packaging. His early operating years grounded him in customer service, daily execution, and the realities facing the people responsible for getting the work done.

He later advanced through foodservice distribution into executive leadership, serving as Executive Vice President and President/General Manager at Performance Foodservice. He subsequently served as Regional Vice President of Sales, West, for Bunzl’s R3 Redistribution business, with responsibility across 13 western states. His experience encompasses sales, purchasing, pricing, supplier relationships, operations, and P&L leadership for businesses generating hundreds of millions of dollars in annual revenue.

Today, Danny brings that perspective to Mathis Performance Management Consulting, LLC (MPMC), where he serves as Founder, Chief Consultant, and Insights Architect. The firm supports investors, manufacturers, distributors, and operators with market intelligence, commercial diligence, procurement strategy, distribution economics, business development, and operational improvement.

MPMC organizes its work around four functions: Insight, Channels, Build, and Develop. These connect informed decisions with commercial opportunities, practical implementation, and the development of people capable of sustaining progress. Engagements can range from evaluating a market or strengthening a procurement program to building an execution playbook, coaching leaders, or integrating AI into everyday business processes.

Danny places particular emphasis on adoption. A strategy must be clear enough for people to understand, practical enough to carry out, and supported by the tools, training, and accountability needed to make it work.

Developing others remains central to his leadership. Over his career, he has mentored and helped advance more than 40 professionals into management, director, and vice president roles. He believes leaders should prepare others to assume greater responsibility and carry the work forward with confidence.

Across his professional and personal life, Danny strives to apply the same standards: faith, integrity, transparency, and commitment. Those principles shape how he serves clients, leads teams, and defines the example he wants to set for his family.
