Charbel Assaf
@charbelassaf
I optimize procurement, customs compliance, and supply chain operations across EMEA.
BelgiumWhat I'm looking for
I'm currently supporting NIPRO EMEA's supply chain and customs operations by monitoring customs risks, maintaining compliance, and coordinating import and export clearance.
Previously at Daikin Europe, I managed the full procurement cycle, supplier relationships, negotiations, inventory analysis, export compliance, and shipment tracking. I also assisted ERP customization for procurement workflow digitalization and helped reduce procurement lead time.
My Master's in Economics focused on digital auditing, security risk, and governance, supported by experience in internal auditing and risk management. I bring practical capability across Dynamics 365 ERP, Power BI, Smartsheet, FAIR-U, COBIT, NIST CSF, and ISO 27005.
