The thesis
Why this org is unusual
US Foods’ most distinctive structural feature is that field operations and local sales are consolidated under a single EVP rather than split by region at the C-suite level.

Transformation and nationally managed business sit alongside core operations, signaling ongoing portfolio and efficiency focus rather than a pure cost-center role.
- No standalone COO
- Field operations centralized under one EVP
