I had the pleasure of working with Sonja Merkas
for approximately 4 months in 2021, during which she worked as an external consultant on a Project focused on Optimizing the Manufacturing
Site Layout. Her role as lead consultant involved optimizing routes of raw materials and finished products within the pharmaceutical production facility, including warehouse, to increase efficiency and achieve cost savings.

She professionally led the consulting team, maintaining honest and timely communication with Belupo management throughout. Sonja and her team thoroughly examined the details of the project, identifying critical areas and providing concrete, precise steps for implementing changes that ultimately resulted in improved efficiency and cost savings.

Her expertise in similar projects was an invaluable asset that contributed to a more effective layout of the production facility.
I am confident, without reservation, that Sonja would be an excellent choice for complex projects with tight deadlines.

I have had the pleasure of knowing Sonja for a long time, first as a colleague and recently as her client.

To me, Sonja represents a solid anchor that I can rely on due to her professional attitude and broad knowledge in the pharmaceutical field. No matter in which environment or project she is involved in, she will take the lead with humility, manage to solve challenges, and deliver what you need, always with a smile!

I am delighted to recommend Sonja for any role that requires a blend of technical expertise, empathy, perspective, and a comprehensive approach to problem-solving. Having worked closely with Sonja, I can confidently say these skills make her an invaluable asset to any team. Sonja possesses an exceptional technical skill set and has deep understanding of complex operational challenges. But what sets Sonja apart is her genuine compassion and empathy. She is not only a brilliant technical mind but also a thoughtful leader who cares deeply about her customers, colleagues, and the broader community.

One of Sonja’s greatest strengths is her ability to see the bigger picture. Sonja’s broad perspective allows her to connect the dots across different domains, leading to holistic and sustainable outcomes. Simply put, Sonja is fantastic!
