Driving diversity through procurement
“ Our supply chain is diverse , and it is essential that we embrace it as a company , both in our own company and through our partnerships .” One partner of particular note is Gibbs Hybrid . “ Farida Gibbs is from a womenowned business , and a business woman whose approach I greatly respect ,” shares Bromley . “ After a number of meetings with Mastercard , we onboarded Gibbs Hybrid into our ecosystem , and they have been working with our New York labs team .” Bromley explains that Gibbs Hybrid understands Mastercard ’ s brand and compliments the company well . He also shares that there are a number of initiatives that Mastercard champions , from the Women Leadership Workshop , through to its burgeoning LGBT + group . “ We want our own people within the company to feel comfortable , so that they can accelerate with full support , and this is embodied from our CEO , right through to our most recent onboarded startup . It ’ s great to see such diversity ; it nurtures culture and builds a strong company with people that enjoy what they do .”
