Opportunities in Supplier Diversity
Despite the tentative economy, Karen Blackwell, manager of supplier diversity and development for Nestlé Business Services, North America, says businesses are searching for viable suppliers. To that end, Nestlé has supplier programs in place at Nestlé Purina Pet Care, Nestlé Nutrition (which includes Jenny Craig and Gerber as well as PowerBars) and Nestlé Waters North America, among others. Within its operating companies, Nestlé provides vendor opportunities in a range of areas, from construction and raw materials to maintenance, marketing, real estate, and human resources services.
