Meet Sonja Rheaume

Fourth Generation Contractor
President of a $100M+ Business, Employing 400+
Executive Coach for Women in Construction

I’m Sonja Rheaume, and I’m a fourth-generation contractor. Growing up, my family would go to church every Sunday and then talk business around the breakfast table.

All of our family trips were a mix of business and pleasure. I’d listen to the guys talk shop but the women were rarely involved. If they were, they held secretarial roles filing paperwork. Despite being the oldest grandchild, I never really thought a role in my grandfather’s company was an option. It’s just not a place where many women worked.

Fast forward to today, and I’m the proud owner and President of Christenson Electric, a $100M company with over 400 employees serving the Pacific Northwest. I love coaching women leaders in construction and sharing the lessons and strategies that have helped me grow the largest electrical contractor on the west coast. I would love to connect with you.
