Bio
Jeff Foreman
Joining a restaurant company in the midst of 2020 during the pandemic response would be a challenge for anyone - even more, Sonia stepped into our company to take on some of the most time intensive and "behind-the-scenes" challenges of managing the regulatory response and COVID compliance functions of our teams and almost 2 dozen full-service restaurants. I was lucky enough to be a part of bringing Sonia into the organization, and she impressed me immediately, and our leadership quickly after meeting them. She not only oversaw a small team and helped facilitate their development, but she also spent time directly aiding our restaurant operators in the field as well as supporting them remotely/virtually. I would be more than happy to recommend Sonia!
Ingrid Hepler, SPHR, SHRM-SCP
I had the privilege of working with Sonia in a consultative capacity. I found her to be knowledgeable and thoughtful in her questions/requests. In most instances, she was only in need of assurance that she was on the right track. Sonia was extremely professional, while still maintaining that human touch needed in human resources. I highly recommend Sonia for her can-do attitude and willingness to do what it takes to get the job done right.
