The Role Of Compassion In Strategic Business Partnerships

🌟🌟🌟 Thank You, Forbes, for Featuring Us Again! 🌟🌟🌟

We are honored to be featured once again in Forbes, this time with an insightful article written by our CEO, Eran. The article, titled “The Role Of Compassion In Strategic Business Partnerships,” delves into the profound impact that compassion can have in the business world.

In the article, Eran shares some powerful thoughts on the importance of empathy and understanding in business relationships. One of the key quotes he references is from the Dalai Lama’s “The Art of Happiness,” where compassion is described as a mental attitude guided by “a sense of commitment, responsibility, and respect towards the other.” Eran further elaborates on this by explaining how these qualities can help us recognize the unique challenges our partners face and the value they bring to the table. It’s a roadmap toward true understanding and empathy.

Eran also reflects on his own experiences, noting that

Compassion—and the consideration of what someone else is facing—leads to partners asking better questions, seeing better opportunities, communicating more transparently, and achieving better goal alignment and conflict mitigation. Who wouldn’t want that in their business partnerships?”

Eran Mizrahi

Finally, he reminds us that

Business shouldn’t be solely results-oriented. Yes, bottom lines exist, but they aren’t met when we’re so focused on them that we forget the organizations and people that get us there. When compassion and empathy become internal drivers, employees get to experience the impact it has on business relationships instead of just seeing it as a theoretical and abstract concept.”

Eran’s passion for global trade began early—watching his father build an import business rooted in integrity and customer service. Originally from South Africa, he launched his career at Deloitte before moving to New York to earn his MBA from Columbia Business School ('14).

He was among the first employees at Plated, where he led planning and sourcing initiatives that helped drive the company’s $300M acquisition by Albertsons. He later joined Nuts.com, one of the world’s largest specialty ingredient e-commerce companies, where he rose to COO and quadrupled operational capacity to support major growth in 2020.

Today, Eran is the co-founder of Source86, the evolution of ingredient brothers — a no-fluff, full-service sourcing partner built to simplify supply chains and solve the real problems food companies face. With a global team and a bias toward action, Source86 was born from the belief that the ingredient game can be sharper, faster, and more human.

Fun fact: Between university years, Eran attended culinary school—an experience that deepened his lifelong love for food and continues to influence how he builds ingredient supply chains today.
