Bio
Tom Chisholm
Sonya and I have worked together at Drax. What comes across from Sonya is a strong commitment to do a good job with any task she’s responsible for. Sonya is able to identify areas of improvement and weak processes and shows great resilience in the face of a challenge. Best of all Sonya’s core value of honesty shines through any interactions you have with her which helps build relationships and trust across the team. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed working with Sonya and hope our paths cross again in the future.
Dale Boyeson
Sonya is an excellent finance professional. She is extremely conscientious, organised and hardworking who maintains good relationships and communications across all levels and departments. I had the pleasure of working closely with Sonya on a successful Group BP&F project implementation. Sonya was integral to ensure the project was delivered to time and to stakeholder deliverables, with particular shout out for helping me get the workforce planning functionality delivered. Without the due diligence and commitment from Sonya I would have really struggled to meet my deadlines.
