Bio
Gary Hom
John is extremely detailed oriented and knows how to avoid a crisis by taking actions before issues become critical. John understands the technology, people and auditing/governance requirements and how to build in checks and balances to the process. John motivates the teams to provide their best and manages with a very collaborative manner resulting in an optimal end product. John is well respected by his peers, colleagues and senior management and helps them achieve their goals with his knowledge and influence. His solutions provide flexibility to grow and address future new requirements without having to start at the beginning. He is the go to person to accomplish the objective on time, within budget with the ability to provide a flexible solution. In addition to John’s normal responsibilities, I assigned the cost center portion of a reference data management project that was failing. John quickly engaged with the project managing a different group of resources, designing solid processes, presenting solutions and a live walk through to senior management bringing it to a successful completion on time and within budget. There was a similar situation with a top of the house FP&A reporting application that was experiencing repeated outages at critical times causing extreme frustration with the business. John took ownership of this environment and set a path towards stabilization and standardization receiving several emails from the business thanking him and the team for their efforts John would be an asset to any organization.

John is an invaluable resource supporting our financial systems. He has a deep knowledge of our systems and our processes, and responds to our requests promptly. His in depth knowledge allows him to propose sensible solutions that suit the business need and make sense from a systems perspective. He also keeps in mind the corporate strategic vision to ensure that projects and enhancement requests are in line with future or planned system roll-outs such as SAP. John’s input was instrumental in reviewing the strategy for the planned Vertex sales tax implementation, which could ultimately affect the SAP GL implementation and the OneSource tax project. This strategic change impacted the future direction on this project, resulting in 3M of savings in development costs and future license fees. In addition, his support of the transition of legacy reporting systems to the SAP ERP, as liaison between our team and the SAP implementation team allowed for a seamless project plan, development, implementation, transition and data archiving. His support of active business applications is always professional and very responsive, and his team reflects those attributes.
