Claire Scanlon, manager of BNY Mellon’s supplier development program, was instrumental in creating and developing the program in 1994. To Scanlon, the company’s greatest challenge is getting W/MBEs to understand the complexity of its businesses and the resources needed.

Scanlon is proudest of the senior management’s support and willingness to meet with W/MBEs, as well as its ability to sponsor and host workshops and conferences to educate W/MBEs and facilitate networking and matchmaking. This happens not only for the company’s buyers, but also for buyers from both the public and private sectors.

Scanlon is a major supporter of the Women’s Business Committee. BNY Mellon has hosted its annual conference for the last six year as well as the quarterly National Minority Business Council’s Procurement Luncheon. Scanlon was recently named chair of the advisory committee for the National Minority Business Council. Scanlon served as the expo committee co-chair for the NY/NJ Council’s 2009 Expo. BNY Mellon was the Expo Corporate Chair. Scanlon serves on the NY/NJ Council’s Certification Committee and has hosted the Annual MBE Meeting for the last two years.
