Patti Gary
I had the privilege of working with Seyi during my time at Systagenix. He took the time to help me understand and manage my department's budget as well as forecast appropriately. I was always amazed at his ability to remain calm when all around him was in chaos. He has inspired me to look at the big picture and embrace all challenges big and small, always learning and growing from these. He is a team player that stepped outside of his financial walls to get to know other team members. I respect him a great deal and think that wherever his career path takes him, that company will be very lucky to have someone of his caliber.
