• Deep expertise in US international tax provisions (e.g., GILTI, FDII, BEAT, Subpart F, Section 861, FTCs) and practical application. Demonstrated experience with multi-jurisdictional tax planning, cross-border transactions, and understanding of global tax reform initiatives (e.g., OECD Pillar One and Pillar Two).

• Outstanding written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to draft clear, concise, and technically sound tax memoranda, presentations, and reports for diverse audiences.

• Lead the tax workstream for all M&A activities (acquisitions, divestitures, joint ventures), from due diligence through integration and post-acquisition restructuring. Understand tax implications (including purchase accounting) for possible strategic investments & acquisitions.
