SVP, Strategic Sourcing & Procurement

The Walt Disney Company believes that Supplier Diversity is a strategic business imperative. This belief is one part of Disney's overall commitment to diversity and inclusion as stated by our CEO, Bob Iger.

We believe that including diverse suppliers in our sourcing process provides us the greatest opportunity to develop the most innovative, highest quality, and most cost-effective business solutions. Through direct experience, we know that inclusion of diverse suppliers in our business has enabled us to deliver business benefits that would not have been possible otherwise. We strive to ensure that our business leaders have a broad understanding of the business case for working with diverse suppliers and the competitive advantage that a robust Supplier Diversity process provides the company. We invite you to be part of the magic!


Our team of dedicated Supplier Diversity professionals engages in several activities to ensure that the diversity we find in our communities is reflected in our supply base:


Utilization -- We assist Disney professionals in identifying minority- and woman-owned businesses capable of meeting their business requirements.
Qualification -- We determine relevant MWBE business criteria such as competencies, geographical scope, capacity, etc.
Due Diligence -- We validate MWBE status through certification compliance, management interviews and/or third-party research.
Outreach -- We actively seek diverse suppliers through participation in national, regional and local minority-and women-owned business development organizations, advocacy groups and trade shows.
