Innovative Responses by Diverse Suppliers to Covid19 Challenges


Our President, Venkat Mantha was invited to be part of a 2020 virtual panel discussion organized by the Institute of Supply Management – New Jersey Chapter (ISM-NJ). The discussion was part of the annual supplier diversity event organized by the ISM-NJ Supplier Diversity committee. The panel was chaired by Gladys Leibowitz ( Senior Global Procurement Manager, Chubb Insurance) and John Perez (Head, Military & Veterans Affairs at Johnson & Johnson)

The panelists included diverse suppliers from different industry verticals and each one of them pivoted to rise up to the sudden challenge created by the pandemic.

He talked about how the Covid19 crisis also created staffing opportunities.  Here is a link to the exciting case study that he is referring to on the panel detailing how we stepped up to the challenge.
