Rhythm Section: Marie Robinson of Sysco
It could be said that you can judge the success of a person by the success of the people working with her. For Marie Robinson, executive vice president and chief supply chain officer of Sysco, working with her field teams and getting involved at the ground level is one of the things that invigorates her in her professional life. She credits much of her success to her ability to, as she puts it, “attract great talent that’s smarter than her.”
She aims to ensure that the people she works with know that she really, truly cares about them. That was on display when we asked her what makes the people she works with rock stars.
