Episode notes
Episode 33 of Enterprise Tech with Fexingo: Lucas and Luna dive into how Fortune 500 procurement teams are now managing geopolitical risk as a core function, not just a supply-chain add-on. Using a real case from a major industrial manufacturer, they explore how one company built a dedicated geopolitical risk desk within procurement, staffed with former diplomats and intelligence analysts. They unpack the specific tools — from real-time sanctions screening to scenario-planning software — and the hard numbers behind a 20% reduction in tariff-related disruptions. Lucas and Luna also discuss the shift from reactive crisis management to proactive geopolitical forecasting, and how this is changing the skill set required in enterprise procurement. A concrete look at a fast-evolving role. #GeopoliticalRisk #Fortune500 #Procurement #SupplyChain #EnterpriseTech #RiskManagement #SanctionsCompliance #ScenarioPlanning #TariffRisk #Manufacturing #BusinessContinuity #GlobalTrade #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #CorporateStrategy #RiskDesk #ProcurementTrends #Geopolitics Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
