In his new role, Bridges will work with ICS / entegra partners in the Southeastern region of the United States while also assisting the sales team with distribution partner relations and other core competencies. Bridges joins ICS after serving as the Division President of US Foods Inc. in Little Rock, AR, where he grew order fulfillment rates and customer service performance to some of the highest levels across the organization.
