Position: Supervisor, Dietitian Services

Core Value: Always Place the Customer First

For Véronique Maillet, the greatest reward as a health professional is making a difference in peoples’ health and helping them achieve a better version of themselves. To do this, you must first understand the customer’s goals and the goals they want to achieve, she explains. Recently she was able to assist a diabetic customer who was in desperate need of a lifestyle change. Along with a Live Well coach, Véronique taught the woman to read nutrition labels, conducted one-on-one sessions to track her progress, and supplied nutrition resources to kick start her journey back to health. They were so successful that the customer’s doctor postponed previously needed surgery. Véronique says her proudest moment was launching the nutrition program at Sobeys when she was fresh out of school. “‘I could not wait to start building what is now a successful program across Canada.” Eighteen years later, Véronique is now part of a team of Sobeys dietitians across Canada. “After all these years, it’s still my dream job.”
