Supplier Diversity: Empty Words or Execution?
About Jessica Thomas
After 14 years of building relationships in multiple industries, I developed a passion for people and a desire to make a difference. In the retail industry, I learned about the challenges of sourcing retail-ready Minority Suppliers. Every retailer has created Supplier Diversity Goals and Initiatives but fulfilling those pledges and commitments has proved to be extremely difficult. It takes a ton of time and effort that no retailer has. I created CURATE 360 to fill the gap between Diverse Suppliers that want to get on the shelves and Retailers that support Supplier Diversity.
