New York, Dec. 17, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The National Minority Supplier Development Council (NMSDC) is pleased to announce that Everett Parker has joined NMSDC as its chief financial officer. The hire reflects NMSDC’s continued dedication to modernizing the organization and positioning itself to accelerate MBE growth and reach its goal of $1 trillion in annual revenue for certified MBEs by the end of 2030.
“NMSDC is doing incredible work on behalf of both the minority business community and corporations looking to strengthen their supplier diversity efforts. I am honored to join this storied organization as it moves forward into the next phase of its transformation,” said Parker.
Parker brings over three decades of experience in financial leadership, having worked at Fortune 500 companies, including the CSX Corporation in both finance and operations and Convergys Corporation, where he managed the financial operations for a $1.1 billion global Human Resources ERP contract across 54 countries.
