Joseph WalkerJoseph Walker is a consultant in the information technology field. Working with many clients from national and international corporations such as IBM and Dell, government organizations, not-for-profits, academic institutions, and the military, as wel as smaller companies, he has diverse exposure to both the public and private sectors’ IT and information management needs.
