Background

I’m a seasoned in-house tax professional with a broad background in corporate and international taxation, including tax planning, tax policy, M&A, restructurings, transfer pricing, tax controversy, tax accounting, and compliance. I’ve led tax strategy across complex areas like new business launches, payments, and insurance products, while managing end-to-end tax operations—from provision to audit defense.

I’ve built and led global tax teams and am passionate about empowering people to do their best work. My leadership style blends strategic vision with collaboration and trust, enabling teams to deliver exceptional results.

Having worked at Airbnb, I’m energized by fast-moving, mission-driven environments where innovation and optimism thrive. I bring a strong global mindset to everything I do and believe the best workplaces are not only high-performing, but also fun, inclusive, and personally fulfilling.
