Marilyn Gettinger, C.P.M.
New Directions Consulting Group

Marilyn created New Directions Consulting Group in 1993 with the mission to assist companies in making the most of their precious resources. She designs customized training programs and consulting services to support organizations that must change to meet the demands of the 21st century. Her workshops present theory and then relate that theory to meeting the challenges of the organization. Participants are encouraged to take on intra-company projects that address upgrading and reengineering of existing business and manufacturing processes. Her consulting services offer a team approach to streamlining existing processes using all of the skills and experiences of staff members. She has consulted with organizations to improve purchasing, inventory, and supply chain processes.

Marilyn helps promote other businesses through her involvement at Bergen Community College and Kean University's Small Business Development Center's small business workshops. She holds a C.P.M., an MBA, and is certified in Materials Management from Bloomfield College.
