WASHINGTON (AFPN) --  Secretary of the Air Force Michael Wynne swore in the Air Force's new assistant secretary of the Air Force for Financial Management and Comptroller in a ceremony at the Pentagon Jan. 15.

John H. Gibson is now the Air Force's trusted advisor on all matters financial. His mission is to provide high-quality, objective guidance to the decision maker, as well as customer-focused financial services to the U.S. Air Force.

"This is a great day," said Secretary Wynne. "This is a great opportunity for transition for FM. We've got a great staff and great relationships and I look forward to what Mr. Gibson brings to the team."

Mr. Gibson, who previously worked as a deputy under secretary of Defense, said he looks forward to working with the Air Force.

"When I gave my testimony [on Capitol Hill] for this job, I said if I was selected for the job, I would be working with consummate professionals," he said. "I know that this is a very accurate statement and I look forward to joining this team in these challenging times."
