In Loving Memory of Tonya Bomkamp
We are deeply saddened by the passing of our friend and colleague, Tonya Bomkamp, on 27th August. Tonya joined ECOM in 2017 and served as the Global Compensation and Benefits Manager as well as the Head of HR for the US. She always went above and beyond her duties, was highly knowledgeable, engaging, and loved her ECOM family. Her dedication to her team and all her stakeholders across the Group, as well as the work she has accomplished are immeasurable. Her positive attitude, her energy, and her radiant and contagious smile will be deeply missed. We share our most sincere condolences and thoughts, as many of us share in this loss. May she rest in peace.
