I lead our Global Value Chain offering within the Transfer Pricing practice. Organisations come to me when they are redesigning their operating models, transforming their business or implementing large-scale change and want to make sure tax is considered from the start, not once key decisions have already been made.

I've spent more than 20 years working alongside consulting, finance and operational teams on complex transformations. That experience helps me translate tax issues into practical insights that non-tax stakeholders can use when making important design decisions. I work with organisations to ensure tax supports wider commercial objectives and becomes part of the conversation throughout the transformation journey.

Changes to an operating model can have a significant impact on an organisation's long-term tax profile. They can also create one-off tax costs that dilute the wider business case for change or place new demands on tax compliance processes. Through our Global Value Chain approach, I help identify risks early, mitigate them where possible and uncover opportunities to create a more sustainable tax position. A typical engagement involves working closely with transformation teams to embed tax into the design process, helping support smoother implementation and more informed decision-making across the business.
