I am a tax partner at Deloitte, with 25+ years of experience in serving the tax needs of multinational companies. I advise tax departments as they evolve or transform their strategy and operations, working closely to achieve organizational goals. I work in subject areas ranging from accounting for income taxes, tax compliance, domestic and international acquisitions and restructurings, and tax planning matters. My goal is to bring a hands-on and practical approach to driving an effective tax function. I am excited about the impact of Transformation and Innovation on our profession and our careers. I lead Innovation for Deloitte's Business Tax Services practice as well as expanding use of Artificial Intelligence in Tax. I seek new ways to solve challenging tax issues for both our clients and our firm. I previously established and led Deloitte’s Tax Analytics Insights practice, enabling clients’ use of analytics to change the way tax departments are managed. I was the former leader of Deloitte’s US Inbound tax practice. In this role, I established the strategy for driving work with non-U.S. headquartered companies, ensuring seamless delivery of all U.S. tax offerings and teaming with Deloitte’s offices around the globe and capturing understanding unique challenges for this market segment. I continue to serve Inbound companies in areas ranging from tax provision and compliance to planning and structuring.Increasing access to the accounting field for more professionals and future leaders is a passion of mine.
