• Bill Fisher, President & CEO (Ret.), Sysco Foodservices Central Texas, Sysco Corporation built and integrated several companies into the largest foodservice distribution operation in the US, Sysco Central Texas. Ron assisted our leadership teams with sales & marketing in the development, transition and coordination of the "One Sysco" approach to selling and distribution in our marketplace. During this process Ron was well known for his solution oriented and process focused approach which was a huge part of the success of this project and other programs introduced at Sysco.
• Mariam Parker, Principal, Cleverly Done, After working with Ron for a year, I found him to be a complete professional in his communication with the chefs. He was thoughtful and sensitive when dealing with the assorted egos. I trusted him enough to remove myself as the middleman in handling chef requests and had the chefs work directly with him. Due to his level of care, we had no issues over the course of our time working together. I also would like to mention that he was incredibly thoughtful in his support outside of his professional capacity and would often volunteer outside of his working hours to support our initiatives in the community. He was quickly recognized by many members of our board and highly regarded as part of our extended e Austin Food & Wine Alliance family. I have no doubt that he will quickly become an instrumental part of your team.
