Perspectives

What I’ve learned about corporate tax:

Multinational businesses are complex by nature, and global operations are often necessary. Tax can enable a strategy, or undermine it. Not considering tax is a mistake, but making tax the sole driver is equally dangerous. The key is balance: tax should support the broader business strategy, alongside operations, value chain, and commercial realities.

What surprised me the most about transfer pricing:

I didn’t pursue TP because I thought it was my destiny — I found it. And it turned out to be the perfect intersection of economics, accounting, law, and negotiation. The rules are always evolving, which forces you to stay sharp. You work across countries and cultures constantly, which requires both technical strength and interpersonal skills. Most people don’t think TP is “fancy” enough — maybe it’s not. But it challenges you, and that’s exactly what I enjoy.

My greatest strengths are:

Adaptability — the ability to adjust as regulations, practices, and technology evolve, without being tied to legacy approaches.

I also bring strong interpersonal awareness — working across different cultures, expectations, and stakeholder priorities. Transfer pricing requires you to wear multiple hats: structuring policies, defending positions, negotiating with authorities, and sometimes knowing when to push back versus when to align. Over time, I’ve developed the judgment to navigate those situations effectively and stay focused on the right outcome.
