Christopher Bartucci

Proudly Serving: Sobeys Calgary Office, AB

Position: Director Merchandising & Marketing Community Banner

Core Value: Get it Done with Passion and Integrity

Chris has proven himself as a leader many times over but it was during a tragic loss this past spring that he truly stepped up. When a fellow Sobeys employee suddenly became ill and passed away, leaving friends, family and co-workers in shock, Chris worked quietly and mostly behind the scenes to do what needed to be done during that extremely difficult time. “We worked through that together,” says Chris, struggling for words. “There were a lot of people who worked hard during that time.” While Chris is grateful that he was able to help, being rewarded for it makes him uncomfortable and he prefers instead to talk about his friend and co-worker. “Chris Petrie was one of the best on-site trainer merchandising specialists that we had in produce,” Chris says. “He loved what he was doing and people loved him. He was just a good person and had a really kind heart.”
