2011 Supplier of the Year

2011 Supplier of the Year | Neil Cerbone, Neil Cerbone Associates, Inc.  

NGLCC starts a new tradition this year with the first “Supplier of the Year” award to honor outstanding certified LGBTBEs. Passion is not in short supply with honoree Neil Cerbone, founder and president of Neil Cerbone Associates (NCA). But describing his success is also not a tough task. His clients include Fortune 500 and Global 1000 companies across a wide variety of industries. 

Over the nearly 30 years that Neil has spent in the design, development and delivery of organizational development and training, he has pioneered a number of important delivery tactics in the areas of eLearning; catalytic videos, large events; multi-media awareness raising; live/interactive theatre; transactional and Total Immersion Simulation™.

Neil has been published in Fast Company Magazine, T&D Magazine, Training Magazine, American Banker, and Business Week's Small Biz, among others. Neil has appeared as an expert speaker at dozens of industry conferences, leadership summits, and learning events throughout the world, and NCA has received multiple International Film & Television Institute awards and several Telly's for excellence in corporate video scripting, casting and directing. Recently, NCA was named a "most valued partner" by Johnson & Johnson and a "quality outsourced provider" for PNC Bank and was the class of 2009-10 Protégé of the Year for the Accenture Diverse Supplier Development Program. Neil has worked tirelessly to empower his fellow LGBTBEs and in August he debuted a highly successful one-day pre-conference boot camp to better prepare suppliers to capitalize on their NGLCC conference experience.
