John is a Senior Director at Accordion who helps organizations transform how Finance plans, consolidates, and reports—turning fragmented processes into scalable, insight-driven decision platforms.

With over 20 years of experience delivering planning and budgeting solutions, John partners with Finance leaders across industries—including Financial Services, Healthcare, Telecommunications, and Hospitality—to modernize their Corporate Performance Management (CPM) environments. His expertise spans Planning, Essbase, and Data Integration, with a focus on designing solutions that improve forecast accuracy, accelerate close cycles, and enable more confident decision-making.

John specializes in bridging the gap between technology and Finance—ensuring that systems are not only implemented correctly, but aligned to how the business actually operates. He has led large-scale CPM transformations covering architecture design, multi-entity planning, consolidation, and reporting—helping clients move away from manual workarounds and toward automated, governed, and scalable solutions.

Throughout his career, John has worked with hundreds of organizations across both public and private sectors, delivering practical solutions to complex financial challenges. His approach combines deep technical expertise with a strong understanding of Finance operations—allowing him to guide clients from strategy through execution.

John stays closely aligned with Oracle’s product roadmap and has participated as a beta tester for pre-release functionality, bringing early insight into emerging capabilities and how they can be applied to real-world Finance use cases.
