He will discuss the challenges of tax transparency, reputation, ESG, and embedding controls that are appropriate for the evolving international tax, sharing insights on navigating these with efficacy and precision.
This session will also cover practical leadership frameworks for communicating at board-level, inspiring and managing high-performing tax teams while fostering continuous learning and adaptation. Adam’s unique approach, combining technical expertise with a human touch, will provide attendees with actionable guidance on being not just tax experts but visionary leaders who can effectively communicate and implement change within their organisations.
