Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI)

As a leader, serving as a DEI Ambassador has helped me be more self-aware when communicating with my team and have a deeper appreciation for each person's unique contributions at Sysco.

As a steering committee member of Emerging Leaders, I learned how to strategize, plan, and execute a yearly calendar of events and engage with Sysco's leadership team. This opportunity helped me build stronger relationships in my work and build on the skillsets I needed to step into a leadership role. 

Sysco is better when we incorporate ideas from a wide variety of colleagues, and taking part in colleague resource groups has helped me learn from and appreciate every colleague's viewpoint.

As DEI Ambassadors, we must champion our DEI initiatives across the company. By lending our voice and modeling the behavior, we ensure our purpose comes to life – Connecting the world to share food and care for one another.

As a member of the Global DEI Council, I often reflect on the best ways to incorporate DEI best practices into my leadership style. By listening to and learning from colleagues across the company, I improved my understanding of Sysco as a global company and the benefits of developing a clear DEI roadmap together.
