1617 ET - Sysco has expanded its team of sales consultants and is looking to boost retention after seeing high levels of turnover a year earlier, Chief Executive Officer Kevin Hourican says at the 2026 Consumer Analyst Group of New York conference. He says a stronger sales organization is helping fuel growth. "We're getting our mojo back, if you will," Hourican says. "We're focused significantly on retaining those colleagues, motivating them through compensation and training to increase their effectiveness." He says the company is also using an artificial-intelligence sales tool called AI 360 to improve sales consultants' productivity. (elias.schisgall@wsj.com)
