Want to pick my brain - now you can!
I have a digital twin who knows my technical views, opinions, and experience. Now you have almost two decades of learning at your fingertips.
You can ask me about Fonoa, TaxTech at Uber, using LinkedIn in GTM, and a bunch of other topics (see AI Twin Topics below).

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.

Building TaxTech team
An inside story of how panic, brute force deadlines, and near-failure sparked the creation of a dedicated TaxTech team inside Uber. How tech talent ended up inside tax, and what breaks when growth outruns process. Want to know how a handful of people turned manual chaos into scalable systems? Or what it really takes to build TaxTech team? Start here.

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

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.
