Digital Twin
Pick my (digital) brain
After spending years as a paid consultant, I've decided to save you some money (and me some time) by uploading my technical views, opinions, and experience into "the cloud". You can now access my views at any time at a fraction of the cost.
Find out about Fonoa, TaxTech, Uber, LinkedIn meme-making, and other topics by
- Reading interview transcripts
- Listening to interviews, and
- Interacting with my digital twin (ask your own questions).

Building TaxTech team

Ask my twin how global tax products actually get built, sold, and chosen by enterprise buyers. I cover why Fonoa exists, why customers pick (and stick) with it. I also cover how multinational enterprises select tax vendors, and where most platforms quietly fall short. I share where I believe the biggest risks and opportunities are for Fonoa and comparable companies.

Interested in getting results via LinkedIn without being branded an influencer?
This is a first-hand account of how I treated personal content as a growth channel. I break down how I became one of Fonoa’s most visible voices and the tools I relied on. This is not a strategy to grow into an influencer - it is just a clear view into what actually helps your organisation and your personal brand.
IMG Deepdive

Umpisa Deepdive
Informal Marketplace Group - the most influential group for indirect tax professionals does not advertise. I offer a glimpse into the IMG - and explain why this group is the most valuable industry forum. I also explain why it's (almost) impossible to join.
