WASHINGTON – The Congressional Black Caucus Foundation today announced
that Kevin M. Brown, a key global executive with Dell Inc., has joined
the organization’s Board of Directors.
Brown serves as Dell’s vice president of original design manufacturer
(ODM) fulfillment and supply chain strategy. He is a nine-year Dell veteran,
and leads a global team tasked with architecting and directing future
global supply chain and fulfillment strategies, including Dell’s
ODM fulfillment relationships.
“Kevin has the respect and ear of Dell’s senior leadership
team,” said U.S. Rep. Kendrick Meek (D-Florida), chairman of the
CBCF Board, who welcomed Brown at the start of the Foundation Board’s
summer meeting in Washington yesterday. “Kevin is both excited about
being nominated and committed to providing the time to make a difference
for the CBCF.”
Brown will complete the unexpired CBCF board term of Thurmond Woodard,
vice president for global diversity and the chief ethics, privacy and
compliance officer for Dell, and one of the Foundation’s staunchest
supporters. Woodard died on April 4 after a lengthy battle with cancer.
“I am honored to join the CBCF’s Board of Directors and humbled
to have this opportunity to support Thurmond Woodard’s legacy of
work with the CBCF,” Brown said. “Dell and the CBCF will continue
to work hand in hand, developing future leaders and promoting collaboration.”
