Gerry 35 years

Thirty-five years, a milestone so grand,
Gerry Pecora, across the P&G land!
From the front lines, a leader so keen,
NCSM of Grooming, what a scene!
He built up the brands, with vision and might,
Ensuring success, shining ever so bright.
"Back when I was an NCSM…" he'd often recall,
Sharing his wisdom, standing strong and tall.

(Chorus)
Oh, by the way, he's an enabler, it’s true,
Compassionate, outgoing, for me and for you!
From Harvard’s halls to the football field’s might,
A true New York Jet fan, burning ever so bright!
"What is the rational?" he’d always inquire,
"With what data?" fueling success and desire!
"Said another way…" he'd clarify with grace,
Leaving a legacy in this P&G place!

(Verse 2)
Next, a Team Leader at Family Dollar's call,
He tackled the challenges, standing up for all.
Adaptable, creative, he found new solutions,
Through market shifts and all permutations.
"Back when I was a Team Leader…" he’d reminisce,
Sharing insights, a true business bliss.
"We are flying the plane while building the engine," he’d say,
Guiding his team, come what may!

(Chorus)
Oh, by the way, he's an enabler, it’s true,
Compassionate, outgoing, for me and for you!
From Harvard’s halls to the football field’s might,
A true New York Jet fan, burning ever so bright!
"What is the rational?" he’d always inquire,
"With what data?" fueling success and desire!
"Said another way…" he'd clarify with grace,
Leaving a legacy in this P&G place!

(Bridge)
Then VP of Sales Operations, a weighty new role,
He brought his big heart, body and soul.
"Thanks for the heads up!" always the word,
"See my tracked changes!" making sure he was heard.
"Has Legal seen this?" a prudent command,
Ensuring compliance across the entire land.
"Run at the barking dog!" his advice so sound,
Where challenges arose, solutions were found.
His family, his passion, his guiding bright star,
He loves them profoundly, no matter how far.
"Momma didn’t raise no dummy," he’d humbly express,
Though his wisdom and wit, we all truly possess.

(Guitar solo – energetic and uplifting, about 15 seconds)

(Chorus)
Oh, by the way, he's an enabler, it’s true,
Compassionate, outgoing, for me and for you!
From Harvard’s halls to the football field’s might,
A true New York Jet fan, burning ever so bright!
"What is the rational?" he’d always inquire,
"With what data?" fueling success and desire!
"Said another way…" he'd clarify with grace,
Leaving a legacy in this P&G place!

(Outro)
"With a bias for action," he’d always declare,
Thirty-five years, Gerry, beyond all compare!
"Hey, are you there?" He's always on point,
P&G salutes you, at this glorious joint!
(Music fades out with a final flourish)

Upbeat, energetic music begins – think classic rock with a touch of driving rhythm
