Senior Management's Perspective:
Wendy Lewis
Senior Vice President
Diversity and Strategic Alliances
Office of the Commissioner of
Baseball
"On
behalf of Major League Baseball,
Office of the Commissioner and our
member Clubs I am pleased to
recognize SupplierGateway as one of
America’s Best Diverse Suppliers for
2010. SupplierGateway not only
embodies the value proposition that
great diverse suppliers can offer
major organizations, but they have
become a strategic partner in the
planning and development of the
infrastructure of the very core of
our supplier diversity program,
Diverse Business Partners.
Additionally, they have supported
the customization of the Central
Office’s supplier data and
management system, “SDMS.” This
enhancement will not only improve
the efficiency of our processing,
but will greatly enhance the
participation of our Central Office
and Club buyers. Furthermore, the
“SDMS” will increase MLB’s access to
a greater pool of suppliers. I
would highly recommend
SupplierGateway to any organization
seeking a strategically focused,
high-performing IT firm that happens
to be diverse and minority-owned.
SupplierGateway is truly among our
best Diverse Business Partners."
