FST Welcomes Scot Thornton as Systems and Remediation Lead

 For Scot Thornton, the newest addition to the FST project team, the chance to work for UVA was an opportunity he couldn’t ignore. 

UVA is “a wonderful University and Healthcare system,” Thornton explained. “And it has an excellent reputation in central Virginia.”

As the project’s Systems and Remediation Lead, he will work closely with those responsible for the different financial systems across the University.  With these people, Thornton will “coordinate the process of identifying and implementing changes that are required to successfully integrate these systems with Workday Financials.”

A little more than one week into his position at UVA, Thornton is looking forward to what’s ahead of him. 

“It is very interesting and exciting to again be working with a large complex organization and implementation,” he says. 

He previously worked for a large non-profit Catholic healthcare system in the Atlantic region. He was also the program director for the Workday implementation, remediating over 140 systems, at a healthcare system in Ohio.

Outside of remediating and implementing systems, Thornton enjoys spending time with his family and three Golden Retrievers. He also really enjoys golfing, and he has recently taken up a new hobby: owning western saddle horses and everything relating to them.  Thornton says this hobby is often surprising to people who know him, since he “did not grow up on a farm or around horses at all.”
