Description

Supply chains must be a product of the geography they support, leading to specific requirements around transport modes, temperature control, and even warehousing capacity. This also means that supply chain experts must be as well versed in the infrastructure and logistics of their local area as they are that of their suppliers.


In this episode of The Sourcing Hero podcast, Host Kelly Barner welcomes Samah Mahdi Abdulla. Samah is a supply chain professional with over 15 years of experience and a master's degree in Logistics, Procurement, and Supply Chain Management. She is based in Bahrain and has worked in industries as diverse as retail and food production. 


Shares her unique perspective on procurement and supply chain:



  • The benefits of specialized - and continuing - education in procurement and supply chain

  • How working from an island nation has shaped her work

  • The speed of business in Bahrain that supply chains must be prepared to support
