Jaggaer Tejari, the world’s largest independent spend management company, has announced the appointment of Hossam Refaat as its new Managing Director for the Middle East. Refaat’s role will see him grow the business and drive greater customer focus.

He has a critical role to play in driving the business forward in the Middle East in line with the company’s ambitious regional growth plans.”
Refaat added: “The Middle East is a high growth region for Jaggaer Tejari. As a priority, we want to ensure that all of Jaggaer’s customers reap the benefits of their investments by streamlining their procurement processes and increase business efficiency.”
