Senior Leadership

Senior Management's Perspective:

Robert Ames, CPA

Vice President/Chief Financial Officer

Baltimore Orioles

"The Orioles are deeply committed to encouraging diversity in the workplace, both with our hiring practices as well as our selection of business partners and vendors.  It has long been the objective of the club to reach out to minority groups in an effort to help grow the game of baseball and to provide opportunities to those who may have not had them in the past.  The ABDS program helps the club locate established minority-owned businesses with strong reputations in their fields, and allows the club to expand its minority outreach.  Without ABDS, we would not have the ability to reach these businesses as easily and would not be able to as confidently utilize their services.

We are proud to have Rudolph’s as a partner in this effort, and wish to commend them for their exemplary commitment to both value and service."

The DBP Program Administrator's Perspective:

Linda Ashauer

Purchasing Agent

Baltimore Orioles

"In July of 2008, I became the Purchasing Agent and DBP Program Administrator for the Orioles organization.  Along the way as I learned in my new position, the DBP Program has become an important company-wide initiative, as well as a personal commitment for me.  The Orioles strive to seek out vendors who are able to help us reach our procurement initiatives and diversity goals, as well as affording these companies the opportunity to grow their businesses through Major League Baseball.

As the Orioles Diverse Business efforts have expanded over the last year and a half, Rudolph’s has been our leading woman-owned organization for our company.  In keeping with the Orioles’ Diversity efforts, Rudolph’s has now become our supplier of choice for our Spring Training facilities in Florida.  We look forward to expanding our relationship with Rudolph’s for all of our Minor League facilities as well.

We chose Rudolph’s Office & Computer Supply as our 2010 Jackie Robinson “Most Valuable Diverse Business Partner” for the Baltimore Orioles.  Rudolph’s has been a vendor for the Baltimore Orioles since January of 2008 and has become one of our “go to” vendors for our office needs.  Rudolph’s has received many awards over the years in recognition of their achievements in sales as well as their top-notch customer service.   They have been recognized by the Baltimore Business Journal as being among the “Top 25 Woman Owned Businesses in Maryland” in 1996, 2001-2008, and we are proud to business with them."

The Buyer's Perspective:

Jamie Bell

Merchandising Manager

Baltimore Orioles

"Rudolph's has become one of the more dependable suppliers that the Orioles use. What impresses me the most about Rudolph's is their level of service and turnaround times they provide while maintaining very competitive prices as well. I would endorse Rudolph's to any business in need of office supplies and I look forward to continue working with them in the future."
