Mark
Fangue is an electrical engineer, certified
project manager, and chief operating officer
with nearly 30 years of operations management,
systems engineering and data systems experience.
He
has held positions in the construction and
environmental areas, with noted accomplishments
in operations and manufacturing process improvements.
Mark’s strong analytical skills and
project management expertise have resulted
in increased corporate profits and internal
process improvements. He left his corporate
position in 2007 to join Liz Allen as the
company’s COO and co-founder in order
to pursue his heart’s desire to help
others. Mark views this as an opportunity
to use his technical skills and his tender
heart to make a difference in people’s
lives. His vision is to partner with Liz in
creating sustainable income for artisans,
to inspire others to connect to the artists
behind the gifts and recognize that “we
are all connected—with everything, other
humans, animals and the earth.”
Helping
others is our passion. Experiencing diverse
cultures is enriching. Hearing Artisan stories
is heartwarming. From these experiences we
bring you authentic treasures rarely available
in the US. We support distant villages by
offering you fine handcrafted items rich in
tradition and cultural diversity.
We
are one world with many beautiful things to
share and we bring to you these extraordinary
connections with those from less fortunate
places.
Exotic
World Gifts invites you on a journey to

a remarkable collection of handcrafts that
