Comments about Margo Posey

John Lozano is chairman of D/FW MSDC’s board of directors and deputy vice president, global supply chain management, Raytheon Missile Systems Co. in McKinney, Texas. He said the key to Posey’s success is that she has surrounded herself with an amazing team and a hands-on board of directors motivated and inspired to do anything she asks because of her passion for advancing and supporting minority businesses.

“Margo Posey is one of the most inclusive and engaging leaders who has not only the minority-owned business owner’s interest at heart, but also the whole value stream,” he said. “She’s demonstrated this [leadership] year after year, and time after time.”

Council member Renee Dutia, principal and CEO, Dallas-based REGALi Inc., added: “She is extremely detailed –– well prepared and well-informed –– not only about what is happening in North Texas, but she has a broader, futuristic view. A lot of members, entrepreneurs and business owners tend to look at short-term plans, but Margo has this ability to craft programs for MBEs to get them opportunities and exposure for what the future may bring.”
