"The co-MSP relationship with Randstad and Pinnacle provides us with a robust contingent labor acquisition and management process, supporting innovation and cost efficiency. Additionally, the partnership brings a meaningful contribution to further diversity within our supply base," said Peter Kiriacoulacos, Chief Procurement Officer for Comcast and NBCUniversal.
Comcast Cable selected Randstad as one of its MSP partners for the company's global reach, size and consistent approach. Pinnacle, a Hispanic- and woman-owned firm and a leader in working with diverse suppliers, was selected to provide industry-leading MSP services, as well as to help advance Comcast's Supplier Diversity Program, which is designed to promote, increase and improve the participation of diverse businesses within the company's supply chain.
"Through our extensive breadth and experience, we can offer a comprehensive approach to Comcast Cable and deliver a complete solution to meet their most challenging demands," said Teresa Creech, president of MSP and Payroll and Independent Contractor Solutions (PICS) for Randstad Sourceright. "We are pleased to work with Comcast to capitalize on the strength and global reach of Randstad Sourceright to provide them with a market-leading solution."

"By selecting a minority-owned business, they have shown their commitment once again to creating opportunities for American small business, and specifically for Hispanic business. We commend them for choosing diverse suppliers that reflect the faces of their customers, employees and investors, and we will do our part to honor that commitment."
