Building customer relationships requires time, effort and sincerity. For Sysco, it began with a promise to assist foodservice operators in providing consumers with solutions for meals consumed away from home. Since the initial public offering in 1970, when sales were $115 million, Sysco has grown to $37 billion in sales for fiscal year 2010.Today, Sysco has sales and service relationships with approximately 400,000 customers and remains committed to helping them succeed in the foodservice industry and satisfy consumers' appetites. Operating from more than 180 locations throughout the United States, Canada and Ireland, Sysco's product lines are as diverse as the 45,000 employees who support its daily operations. They include not only the ingredients needed to prepare meals, but also numerous ancillary preparation and serving items. As a result, Sysco can make a difference in its customers' lives and the success of their businesses.

The power of partnership means understanding business needs and bringing powerful solutions. Because many of our associates have backgrounds in restaurants and other foodservice settings, we understand the challenges of managing a kitchen, retaining staff, and handling the books – all while providing customers a smooth dining experience. Because we are constantly in contact with food producers, industry influentials and thousands of other customers, we know the latest trends and ideas across the industry. Because we work with environmental groups and participate in developing industry standards, we apply the highest standards of quality and sustainability across our business. All that accumulated wisdom is delivered to our customers every day in a multitude of ways, from the day-to day advice of our marketing associates to the in-depth counsel provided in our business review process. We make running a foodservice establishment a little easier through our iCare back-office services, our eNutrition menu tools and our eCommerce purchasing and billing options.

I employ 40 years of food service experience in a multitude or arenas. Including but not limited to ownership, buying, selling and building gross profit dollars though innovative solutions.
