About: SupplierDiversity.TV Season 1, Episode 2

Your diverse supplier certification is the door, not the key to your business success. We sat down with the acclaimed Ron Baldwin, C.P.M., an expert supplier diversity executive and the Director of Supplier Management and Diversity at AmeriHealth Caritas, to learn about the keys to actually succeeding in the supplier diversity once you’ve been certified. Ron has years of experience advocating for small, diverse businesses and accelerating their growth through strategic partnerships. He has an intimate and intricate understanding of what it takes to leverage your certification successfully, rather than depending on it to do the heavy lifting. This episode is a must-see for anyone looking to establish relationships that reward in the supplier diversity space.
