What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead global tax and regulatory compliance at scale—building operating models, SOX-ready controls, and tax technology that turn complex rules into reliable execution for revenue, audits, and C-suite decision-making.

I’m a global tax and regulatory compliance executive with 25+ years of multi-jurisdictional leadership across income tax, indirect tax, ASC 740, controllership, and regulatory compliance. I’ve built and scaled global tax strategy and functions from zero across 180+ jurisdictions, delivering $500M+ in cash recoveries while translating complex obligations into clear operating models and controls.

My focus combines SOX governance and risk management with advanced tax capabilities including transfer pricing, OECD/BEPS, Pillar Two, M&A tax structuring, and R&D tax credits (Section 41/Section 174). I also lead tax technology transformation—e-invoicing/e-filing and ERP integration—partnering with Finance, Legal, Engineering, and Treasury to deliver measurable outcomes, including strong audit performance and executive-level stakeholder confidence.
