Michael Ramirez
Director of Procurement, Global Healthcare Company
Focus Area: Supplier Diversity Consulting
“Straughter Insights helped us move from checking a box to building a high-impact supplier diversity program. John and his team conducted a comprehensive maturity assessment and designed a roadmap that aligned with our business objectives. Within 18 months, our diverse supplier spend increased by 40%, and we joined our industry’s top-tier diversity council. The difference was both strategic and cultural—our teams now see supplier inclusion as a competitive advantage.”

Chief Strategy Officer, National Retail Brand
Focus Area: DEI Strategy Integration
“We had separate DEI and procurement strategies that weren’t talking to each other. Straughter Insights brought those worlds together. They helped us embed supplier diversity goals into our DEI scorecards, co-facilitated ERG workshops, and worked with our executive team to ensure alignment. The results? Clear accountability, deeper supplier engagement, and a culture that supports equity from the inside out.”
Devid Miller
VP of Operations, Industrial Manufacturing Firm
Focus Area: Sustainable Supply Chain
“Our leadership team was committed to ESG goals but unsure how to bring suppliers along. John and the Straughter Insights team built a custom supplier sustainability toolkit, led capability-building sessions, and helped us establish a Scope 3 emissions baseline. We now have supplier partnerships that are reducing waste, improving performance, and helping us meet our annual sustainability targets ahead of schedule.”
