PM Leadership Delivering Transformative Outcomes

“What stood out most was John's combination of execution and character. He ran a demanding, customer-facing department with a steady hand — navigating difficult situations with clients and internal teams alike without ever losing his composure or his focus on getting things right. He was as effective managing up and across the organization as he was managing his own team, and he built genuine trust with everyone he worked with. John has since gone on to build an impressive career in enterprise PMO and systems integration leadership, and it's no surprise to me — the foundation was clear even then: strong work ethic, sound judgment under pressure, and a natural ability to lead people through change. I recommend him without hesitation for any leadership, project management, or program management role, and would work with him again in a heartbeat.”

“My interaction with John primarily revolved a time of explosive growth at Welligent where John led and oversaw implementation efforts across a wide variety of complex behavioral health and human services provider EHR projects. What always struck me about John's approach was his ability to stay calm and patient. He always looked out for his team and provided them the support they needed, and enabled us to work collaboratively across departments fostering strong cross-functional relationships. John is a great leader in high pressure situations and I'd be happy to work with him anytime if our paths were to cross again. He'd be a strong addition to any team managing complex projects.”

“I worked with John for several years at MillerKnoll. He reported to me directly. John was a solid performer and a valuable member of our team. I was always impressed by his drive and growth mindset, particularly his initiative in pursuing AI and how it would benefit our profession and team. What sets John apart is his versatility; he was always willing to tackle new projects and has a proven ability to navigate ambiguity in unstructured environments, despite his natural talent for organization and structure. He is also deeply committed to the growth of others, by mentoring team members and serving as a coach in our PM coaching program. John's contributions as the creator and facilitator of our Community of Practice (CoP) further demonstrate his leadership and collaborative spirit. John consistently met his individual goals and brings a high level of dedication to everything he does. I highly recommend him for any project or role that requires a blend of structured execution and adaptive problem-solving.”

“John is a true program management professional. John is highly skill at managing large programs that span different internal functions and include both internal and external project teams. In our time together he lead a year-long program that spanned both HR, ERP implementation, finance, IT infrastructure, manufacturing, and facility construction - and ultimately delivered on-time and on-budget. In addition to leading a very large and complex project, John also demonstrated the ability to manage through sensitive business conditions with professionalism and empathy.”

“I had the privilege of working for John Cyr at ContinuumCloud, where he hired me to establish and build the organization's Project Management Office (PMO). John is an exceptional leader who combines strong technical expertise with strategic foresight. He had a clear vision for the company's growth and understood the processes, structure, and operational discipline needed to support that growth. His ability to anticipate what the organization would need next—and empower his team to put those capabilities in place—was one of his greatest strengths. What I appreciated most about John was his leadership style. He trusted his team, gave people the autonomy to make decisions, and created opportunities for them to grow professionally. He provided direction and support without micromanaging, allowing leaders to take ownership and build successful teams and processes. John is the type of leader who can see both the big picture and the technical and operational details required to turn that vision into reality. I greatly valued the opportunity to work for him and would highly recommend him as a technology and organizational leader.”

“I worked with John Cyr at MillerKnoll and highly recommend him for any organization! His advanced AI knowledge and constant attention to the needs of the customer sets him apart from so many project managers. John is always available to help and taught me so much. John enjoys learning and teaching others. He has empathy, patience and endurance to tackle anything.”
