Poonam Arora (She/Her) Email and Phone Number
Do you need a business partner who will work to uncover the ethical path while also remaining mindful of risk mitigation? I am passionate about compliance, ethics and corporate clarity. I have 20+ years of experience in helping organizations decipher legal jargon and cutting through to the core of what it means to be ethical. I am a subject-matter expert in the field of compliance with a Customs Broker's License, Empowered Official Certification, US Export Compliance Officer (BIS & ITAR) Certification and DFAR & FAR Certification. I have a unique background combining transportation, supply chain and import/export compliance. Through this background, I have developed negotiation and analytical skills with ability to effectively resolve issues under time sensitive deadlines. My experience ranges from pharmaceutical, aerospace, textile, automotive, medical devices, electronics, arms and ammunition. This has given me the knowledge to work alongside many regulatory agencies such as FDA, USDA, NHTSA, EPA, FCA, ATF, DOD, DOC, CBP & FBI. In addition, I have also worked with FTZ, maquiladora and FTA. Through this, I am able to champion risk mitigation using auditing, training and technology to gain advantage, reconciliation and implementation.I look forward to hearing from you and learning about opportunities to partner and reap the rewards of an ethical business program.

North America International Trade Compliance ManagerCnh Industrial Apr 2012 - Sep 2014At CNH, I was responsible for supporting the North America depot operations by providing the team with a knowledge base for import and export trade compliance. Additionally, I was lead compliance liaison for the EPA program. In both of these roles, I focused on auditing, finding solutions and training to ensure that mistakes were not repeated. In order to create visual aids for my team, I compiled and updated success metrics and dashboards. To mitigate errors, I partnered with an outside vendor to champion the classification system that could be used as a quick tool for those who were struggling to decipher the ethicality of their day to day operations. In addition to these core compliance duties, I worked to collaborate with a variety of cross-functional teams to ensure that compliance was a priority within the organization outside of just the trade space. For example, I worked with IT and a service provider to initiate a project for automation of EEI filings to the Census. This ensured that our team was doing less manual entry of data, thus reducing user errors and saving human capital. -
