The common theme of my career is my ability to define novel approaches to mitigate financial and compliance risks, maximize savings, and improve shareholder value. In each of my roles, I have utilized my technical, out-of-the-box thinking, communication, and relationship building skills to address cutting-edge sales and use tax issues. I developed and currently implementing the state and local tax minimization strategies for significant transactions as well as the federal Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Previously, I helped in reducing tax liability for multi-billion New York audit assessment. I thrive on the opportunity to learn something new – a law, new product, or a topic. Most recently, I conducted extensive research and analysis regarding the new federally enabled deemed repatriation and Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (GILTI) provisions on the 2017 Tax Cuts & Jobs Act as well as the unparalleled changes to the State of New Jersey’s 2018 tax regime. I bring a high level of passion and perseverance to enable organizations to achieve long-term business goals. My focus on standardizing processes, improving quality of data, and collaborating with executive leadership to align business plans with state and local tax credit programs has contributed to maximizing success across the ever-evolving taxation landscape. As a relationship builder, I am focused on strengthening collaboration with corporate executives, departments, outside consultants, and tax authorities to reduce liabilities, mitigate financial/compliance risks, and advance favorable tax legislation.
