Abbas Sabir

Senior Director of Procurement @ Badael Company

About

I am a British FMCG executive with over 25 years of International experience leading Procurement and Supply Chain across emerging markets—including the Middle East, Africa, Central and South Asia. My track record includes overseeing multi-billion-dollar global procurement operations and serving on The Coca-Cola Company’s Global Procurement Board. Currently, I am leading the procurement transformation for a Public Investment Fund (PIF) Portfolio Company in Saudi Arabia which is a fast-growing startup. In addition to driving strategic alignment with Vision 2030 and National Local Content objectives, I am building the procurement function from the ground up, establishing systems, structures and capabilities that will enable long-term, scalable growth. With a career spanning all major global regions, I bring a unique ability to connect Global FMCG best practices with locally nuanced execution. I’ve worked extensively in some of the world’s most dynamic and complex markets—including Iran, Iraq and China, gaining deep experience in navigating regulatory challenges, geopolitical volatility and cultural intricacies. Also, through Liquid Advisory, where I serve as Owner & Managing Director, I support FMCG clients across the full growth spectrum, from product ideation and launch to procurement strategy, supply chain transformation and operational excellence. Whether advising startups or global brands, I deliver tailored, results-focused solutions grounded in deep industry expertise and a truly global mindset.
