Marcella is a business professional with high energy who believes in teamwork. I had the privilege of working with Marcella on various committees with the Michigan Minority Business Development Council (MMBDC). Her input and expertise resulted in new business opportunities for diverse business enterprises--minority-owned and women-owned businesses. It has been a joy working with Marcella and I'm sure that her many contributions to the supplier diversity business initiative will continue in the future.
- Timothy
Marcella brings her extensive knowledge of purchasing to the table to benefit diverse suppliers. She understands the needs of both large corporations and small start up business and can connect the dots to ensure that both suceed. Marcella is also available and willing to mentor other supplier diversity professionals which has been greatly appreciated by many people, but I think the greatest asset she brings to the table is her positive, "can do" attitude. Not always an easy thing to have in the automotive industry!
