# Diane Hund

> Diane Hund is Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer of US Foods, one of the largest foodservice distributors in the United States, where she has led corporate, field, and digital marketing since 2018. A Kellogg MBA who started with a degree in music education, she built a career across B2B and B2C brands - from horticulture to office supplies - before taking on the job of marketing a company whose product never sits on a store shelf. Her thesis is simple and stubborn: at US Foods the brand is the people and the trucks, and the job is to stay close enough to the chef to know what they need before they ask.
