Sonja Retired in late 2022 after 30+ years with Aramark/Complete Purchasing Services Inc. During her time with CPS Inc. she provided clients with program support and cost effective menu options. She has enjoyed crossing items off the "To Do's" list in the past few months. With that list greatly reduced she decided to look for an opportunity to support her healthcare friends during this new chapter.
Sonja is excited to re-connect with former customers and to build relationships with new ones. She looks forward to sharing innovative products and services with the same enthusiasm and customer focus that has always been part of her personality and career path.
Sonja can often be found with a book in one hand - hard copy or electronic - with a cat nestled close by.
