Sourcing Connections

Our Founder

In 2017, Mark Fadel, who had spent over a decade working across the Middle East and Africa, identified an opportunity to contribute to the development of best practice procurement..

As he observed the lack of maturity in many procurement departments, he became inspired to make a positive impact on the GCC economy and local community by enhancing procurement and SME capabilities.

More recently, Mark’s concern for climate change and passion for sustainability led him to increase the company’s focus towards sustainable procurement. With a clear mission to empower organizations, he set out to provide innovative procurement transformation solutions that foster efficiency, sustainability, and growth.

At Sourcing Connections, we are dedicated to promoting sustainable procurement practices that can help our clients build resilience and drive positive change. We believe that sustainability is not only an ethical imperative but also a business imperative. By leveraging our expertise in procurement transformation, we help organizations optimize their processes, reduce costs, and create value for all stakeholders.
