  • Model tax implications of public ownership (e.g., Section 162(m), equity compensation).
  • Establish controls for Sarbanes-Oxley compliance and public company treasury operations.
  • Build and mentor a high-performing global tax / treasury team.
  • Collaborate with Legal, FP&A, and Accounting to align financial strategies.
