Most recently, McGuire served as CEO and president of the U.S. National Minority Supplier Development Council, where she is reported to have “strengthened organizational performance, expanded stakeholder engagement and modernized operations.”
Earlier in her career, McGuire held senior leadership roles at Dell Technologies and Technology Integration Group, overseeing global market expansion, strategic partnerships and supply chain initiatives across multiple regions.
