Sowmya Aggarwal, vice president of taxation at Cintas Corp., Mason, OH, recently was named to the ‘Forty Under 40’ list for 2023 published by the Cincinnati Business Courier. Aggarwal is the youngest employee-partner to hold the VP of taxation position at Cintas, according to a news release.

Since her promotion to vice president in 2020, Aggarwal has evolved the company’s taxation strategy and has been central to Cintas’ expanded legislative advocacy work. She is also a valued leader and sought-after mentor in the organization, serving as an executive sponsor to two of Cintas’ employee-partner business resource groups: LEAD for the company’s Asian and Pacific Islander employee-partners and WAVE for the company’s female employee-partners.

“I’m incredibly humbled to earn Forty Under 40 honors,” Aggarwal said. “This year’s honorees all have made incredible impacts in so many areas throughout their careers, and it’s awe-inspiring to be considered their peer.”

Mike Hansen, Cintas executive vice president and CFO, added that, “In her three years as VP of taxation, Sowmya has transformed our tax function with her strategic thinking and focus on adding value to the company beyond mere compliance. She is a highly energetic partner who is hungry to learn and drive world-class results. She and her tax team have had a very positive impact on Cintas’ financial performance, and they are only getting started. I am confident Sowmya will continue to deliver impressive results to Cintas in the years ahead.”

Aggarwal graduated from The Ohio State University in 2007 and began her career in Washington, DC, with both EY and CohnReznick LLP before joining Cintas in 2014 as tax manager. She was promoted to vice president six years later.
