GEP was founded by four newly minted postgraduates looking to
upend the status quo of procurement and supply chain, which was led
by bureaucratic legacy providers and which required staggering,
multi-year investments, trapping frustrated companies in expensive
deployments in perpetuity. With more than 6,000 employees across 26
locations worldwide, GEP — still led by its four founders — is
dedicated to enabling the world's leading companies make the leap
with AI to create greater value.
