Who we are
Built around the way people already work.
SupplyConnect brings together experience in procurement, enterprise technology and global operations to simplify collaboration between buyers and suppliers.
WHY WE STARTED
Procurement evolved. Supplier connectivity stayed fragmented.
Across enterprise procurement, we kept seeing the same challenge: sophisticated systems on the buyer side still depended on suppliers adapting to different portals, processes and integration requirements. SupplyConnect was created to make that connection simpler.
WHAT WE BELIEVE
Technology should adapt to how businesses already work.
Buyers need control, structured data and reliable integration with their systems of record. Suppliers need practical ways to work with customers without adopting another process for every relationship. We built SupplyConnect around both sides.

Cofounders
Board & Advisors
Chairman of the Board
Alexis began his career in procurement at Valeo before moving to the commercial side of procurement technology, including eight years at Ariba and sales leadership at Coupa, followed by senior commercial roles across enterprise software. He brings buyer-side procurement experience and two decades of enterprise-software commercial experience, much of it in procurement and supply chain technology, to SupplyConnect’s governance and strategic development.
SupplyConnect is addressing a problem I have seen throughout my career: enterprise procurement networks are only as effective as the suppliers connected to them. Making it materially easier to bring suppliers into existing procurement processes has the potential to unlock significant value for both buyers and suppliers.
Advisory Board Member
Paul joined SAP as employee 200 in the United States and rose to Executive Vice President of Global Accounts. In 1998 he joined Ariba as its first outside executive and built its global field organisation; SAP acquired Ariba in 2012. He went on to serve as President of iPipeline and as Chief Revenue Officer of Anaplan, where he served as interim CEO and helped take the company public in 2018. Currently an Operating Partner at Stripes, he brings three decades of enterprise-software commercial leadership to SupplyConnect’s go-to-market, enterprise positioning and growth.
Many suppliers still handle transactions through email, PDFs and spreadsheets, and enterprises need those transactions inside their SAP Ariba and SAP Business Network processes. SupplyConnect approaches that problem in a practical way, and I look forward to working with the team.
Our values
We keep things simple, move with purpose and stay close to our customers. Four values shape how we build SupplyConnect – and how we work with you.
01
Our customers are why we’re here. We earn trust by understanding what matters to you, delivering what we promise and measuring ourselves by your success.
02
Procurement technology is complicated enough. We focus on what matters, strip away unnecessary complexity and design solutions people actually use – in the product and in how we work together.
03
We stand behind our work and take responsibility for the outcome. If something goes wrong, you hear it from us first – and we fix it.
04
If it affects our customers, we act. We decide quickly, build and iterate – and use our experience to anticipate what matters to you before it becomes urgent.
