A hands-on approach to diverse supplier mentorship

HP provides intensive and impactful support to select diverse suppliers through the U.S. Department of Defense Public Sector Mentor-Protege program. In 2015, Hewlett-Packard Company’s mentorship helped Pyramid Consulting, a minority-owned technology support business based in Alpharetta, Georgia, to grow rapidly and meet clients’ needs more effectively. Pyramid is now one of the largest staffing firms in the United States and was named a Regional Supplier of the Year by the NMSDC. Another mentee, ITSourceTek, has become a big name in IT cybersecurity for small busi- nesses after four years of Hewlett-Packard Company’s support. CEO Brian Arenalles is viewed as a thought leader in the field, appearing on panels alongside experts fromMcKinsey and the FBI’s Cyber Security Squad, and was featured in Hispanic Executive magazine.
