Sarah Lyu Consulting assisted me in implementing Brocade's Supplier Diversity Program.  She developed the supplier diversity training for Brocade's senior leadership team and created and conducted the supplier diversity training for Brocade's procurement personnel and end-users. Sarah's thorough knowledge of Supplier Diversity requirements in both the government and commercial sectors and her ability to create a new Supplier Diversity program or expand an existing program combine for unmatched results. Sarah is an asset to anyone who utilizes her services.

Johnson and Johnson has partnered with Sarah Lyu Consulting for a number of years to augment training and support for our WBE and MBE suppliers.  Sarah's efforts across all stages of the process, from establishing a business case emphasizing the value of certification, to a pre-assessment of supplier eligibility, to providing milestones to ensure timely submission and follow-up have resulted in dozens of newly certified suppliers and millions of certified dollars being added to our diverse supplier spend.  Sarah is professional, knowledgeable and effective, and we consider her an essential partner in our outreach support for our suppliers.
