Joshua Breeden Joins FST

Joshua Breeden

Joshua Breeden joined the Finance Strategic Transformation (FST) project team on February 3 as a Business Process Analyst. He transitioned to the project from UVAFinance and previously assisted on the Ufirst project with the transition to and stabilization of Workday Payroll.

Breeden enjoys being an analyst because it enables him to learn about a lot of different topics and how things work. He has a history of process improvement, which will serve the UVA community well in his new role on the project team.

For FST, he will be learning about how we currently do things, gathering requirements, and learning about processes from stakeholders. This understanding will help him ensure the future setup in Workday Financials and updated processes best meet stakeholder needs. Additionally, he will partner with the change management team to develop training that will enable users to be successful in adopting new functionality.

“I want people know to why they’re doing things in a new way instead of just telling them ‘press here, press here’,” Breeden said.

Outside of work, Breeden has been working towards an MBA from Liberty University, which he will earn this May. He also enjoys visiting breweries and loves a good murder-mystery podcast.
