To support the 2018-2023 Strategic Plan and its successful implementation, the College recently made organizational changes including the creation of two new positions in the Financial Services and Planning department.

I am happy to announce that Sanjay Gandhi has been appointed as Director, Financial Planning, responsible for budget development, forecasting, analysis, management reporting and special projects. Sanjay holds a CPA, CGA designation, began his career with Humber in 1990 and over the years has provided guidance and mentoring to schools and departments with admirable ability to communicate financial concepts at an easily understood level. In his new role, Sanjay will be working closely with the Academic division to assist with and champion Academic Plan initiatives and build upon the success of Academic Resource Planning model. Sanjay is also involved with the Colleges Ontario Finance Officers (COFO) group and currently leading the development of a grant simulation model. 

I am equally pleased to announce that Kelly Morrow has been appointed as the Director, Financial Services, responsible for external reporting including financial statement audit, treasury, financial and related systems, training, accounts payable and accounts receivable. Kelly holds a CPA, CA designation and has extensive audit experience spanning public and private sectors clients. Since joining Humber in 2010, Kelly has led the Financial Services team through several business process enhancements including the implementation of Banner Finance and most recently Chrome River and Flywire systems. She continues to deliver on initiatives and holds the department to a high standard and quality of achievement. In her new role, Kelly will assume responsibility for College procurement activities, as well as support the foundation pillar of Humber’s Strategic Plan by continuously improving and optimizing administrative processes and services. Kelly also chairs COFO’s Financial Reporting Subcommittee and championed several responses to the Public Sector Accounting Board on behalf of the sector.  

I would like to thank Sanjay and Kelly for their continued support over the years and wish them much success as they take on these new strategic opportunities with the College.
