After 25 years, it is with mixed emotions to post that today is my last day with Aramark. I cannot begin to put into words what I feel or how much this company and the experiences I’ve had here have meant to me. So many people played a huge role in my journey. I cannot begin to list them here, but you know who you are and I am truly grateful. I am also tremendously proud of how much progress our team has made toward our mission to do great things for our people, partners, communities, and planet. I sincerely hope the journey continues and remain in awe of how generous Aramark employees are when given the chance to get involved, do good, and give back. Looking forward, my future is wide open. It's been quite a journey and while I'm not sure what's around the next bend, I am reminded of one of my favorites lyrics by the incomparable duo of Hunter and Garcia..."Once in a while, you get shown the light, in the strangest of places if you look at it right". I'm choosing to look at this right and hope you'll join me in celebrating whatever comes next. AND...if you happen to be looking for an incredibly dynamic, experienced corporate affairs leader with a passion for creating purpose and sustainable solutions and a deep well of communications, marketing, and brand experience you know how to reach me. I'll be looking.

Jami, please let me know if there is anything that I can do to help you find your next challenge. I am keeping a watch for you.
Jami - congratulations on this leap of faith! I found many wonderful new adventures post Aramark and hope you find the same. Happy to connect whenever you like.
Jami, I loved being your "side kick" during the past 25 years at Aramark. It is not only your leadership but your kindness that made me want to connect with you and your team on volunteer initiatives. You have what it takes to bring corporate social responsibility in connecting with non-profits to an organization such as Aramark. You will be missed tremendously by many, and I know there will be lots of opportunities to bring you to where you need to be next, so that you can continue on with your journey, especially with helping others. Hoping our paths cross again and until then, enjoy summer with your family and friends! Hugs!
