Skills

  • Operational optimization

Throughout my career at Assuria Insurance Company, in my roles as manager of central collections, as a member of management, and as a member of the ISO certification leading group, I participated in operational optimization A few years later, I joined the internal audit department at this company, where I conducted financial and quality audits, the findings of which led to improvements in efficiency and effectiveness across the organization's operations

My passion and interest in supply chain and logistics management arose through my role in the ISO certification team and my position as an internal auditor, where I mainly focused on processes and the entire chain of activities, from request to delivery to the customer, overseeing the whole process of getting a product from raw materials to the customer This required both strategic planning and tactical execution for efficiency, cost control, and customer satisfaction

Core Values - who is Caroll Soman

  • Integrity

As I always strive to do the right thing, integrity is the foundation of a successful business for me. It includes being honest, transparent, and maintaining ethical standards throughout all business operations. By prioritizing integrity, I support a trustworthy environment that helps build strong relationships with customers, partners, and employees, and genuinely accelerates growth, as people prefer to do business with others they trust.

  • Accountability

Accountability for me means ownership, taking responsibility for your actions, and solving problems when mistakes occur. In all my previous roles, I emphasized the importance of an attitude of responsibility and ownership within the organization to improve employee engagement and customer satisfaction, and to drive growth and success.

  • Innovation

Innovation is a paramount core value for a business to stay ahead of its competitors. As mastering processes and systemizing workflows are my passion and expertise, I constantly strive to improve my work by streamlining processes, adopting new ideas, and simplifying existing ones to enhance outcomes in both quality and time. 

  • Adaptability

In this fast-paced, ever-changing era, it is crucial to be willing to change and adapt to new situations for growth in today's global business landscape. By being flexible and open-minded, I can swiftly adapt to new opportunities and manage challenges to maintain a competitive edge.

  • Excellence

As a very customer-centric professional, I strive for perfection and set high standards to ensure the products and services I deliver are of superior quality, thereby enhancing customer satisfaction.

  • Passion

My passion for anything I undertake is to be excellent and deliver quality, or exceed my customers' expectations, to make the business more successful and profitable, and to achieve its goals by being creative and having fun times as a team while working on core business targets seriously. 

  • Collaboration

Working as a team in solidarity is crucial to me for achieving common goals. It involves building strong relationships based on trust, respect, and mutual support. By supporting loyalty within an organization and with its stakeholders, the company can increase engagement and belonging, which augments growth and success.

  • Simplicity

I believe that achieving results and being successful lies profoundly in keeping things simple, straightforward, and easy to understand and adapt to in a complex world.

Simplicity enables a business to streamline processes and mitigate unnecessary complexity, leading to greater productivity, cost savings, and customer satisfaction.

  • Loyalty

To me, loyalty is a cornerstone of a successful business, built on trust and commitment. As I seek a job in my profession, I do not view work solely as a means to earn a salary. The work I do, the company I work for, and the clients and colleagues become part of my life. I foster a long-term commitment.

  • Determination

Throughout my career path and studies, and even in finding a suitable job, I never give up when challenges and obstacles arise, seeking the positive side in everything, turning hurdles into opportunities, and am determined to find solutions. An example of this occurred during my master's course when I encountered several obstacles in finding a suitable and willing company to conduct my thesis. I never gave up and even graduated on time and with distinction.
