John Passaro

For almost a quarter century, John has been a force behind the scenes at Stony Brook University, driving complex initiatives to success. As a certified Project Management Professional (PMP), he's spent the last 10 years as a linchpin of the Enterprise Project Management Office, where he has taken on the roles of Program Manager and Senior Project Manager. John is known for his ability to wear many hats and lead and deliver high-impact projects that shape the university's future. His proven ability to transform ambitious ideas into tangible realities is a testament to his expertise.

When he's not orchestrating large-scale projects, John is a proud father to a 19-year-old son who's already a college senior. In his spare time, he trades his program manager's hat for a hockey helmet, playing on multiple teams. He also enjoys his downtime with his girlfriend, spending time with friends, traveling, and taking in as many concerts as humanly possible.
