Global Sourcing Leadership
At SF Global Sourcing, we are not only world-class sourcing specialists, but are also committed to giving back to both our business community and the communities with which we operate in at large. Here are just some of the ways that we strive to provide leadership.
Electronic Retailing Association
Steven Feinberg, CEO of SF Global Sourcing, is the current Chairman of the Board of the Electronic Retailing Association (ERA), the premiere trade association dedicated to direct-to-consumer commerce. Steven’s role is the culmination of a three-year volunteer board term that has included stints as the organization’s Treasurer and Chairman of the Finance Committee, Vice Chairman, and active participation on its Executive Committee for the past two years. Just as he has evolved SF Global Sourcing into a worldwide entity, Steven is keen on helping ERA expand its global footprint in the face of challenging economic times.

Thought Leadership
Today direct marketers must be “retail ready” and compete with every other channel in the marketplace on equal footing. That means that every facet of a direct-marketed product configuration must meet the highest quality and standards. However, it is critical that markets maintain a reasonable cost of goods sold without sacrificing excellence. Steven Feinberg has authored several articles that explore different facets of sourcing and packaging, worthy of marketers’ consideration. You can find a link to each of them here:
