SPOTLIGHT
John Walsh Account Executive Alberta Region I have been with Sysco Calgary for 21 years and worked with many associates and customers since I began in November of 1999. (Yikes…where has the time gone!) For 14 years I’ve worked with local and national customers, and for 7 years was in the transportation department managing routing and distribution. The experience of having worked on both sides of the business is really of great value when trying to find service solutions that are effective for both our customers, and Sysco. I started off in the restaurant business as a teen, and then in the bread business for 20 years before coming to Sysco. I am currently the Account Executive managing Alberta Health Services for the SAB locations. As with all positions, there’s been some good challenges here through the pandemic. I am the proud father of 5 adult children and “papa” to two grandsons. I am also a deacon in the Catholic church when I was honoured to preside at my daughter’s wedding and baptize my grandsons. 2:40 pm
