Recent Career Highlights
Thomson Reuters sees the potential of AI and automation to help the tax and accounting profession overcome some of the biggest challenges, such as the talent shortage.
I recently established an ‘AI Coalition’ – a strategic alliance of 25 top accounting firms – focused on AI and automation innovation. This pioneering group helps inform the way forward by joining Thomson Reuters on its AI journey, providing insights, use cases, networking, and helping us ensure that our vision for AI in the profession aligns well with their strategic vision. This consultative group represents a fundamental shift in how technology providers and accounting firms collaborate. By bringing together industry leaders at the forefront of AI adoption, we’re creating a pathway to address longstanding challenges through innovative technology solutions.
What are you doing to make a difference in the profession, your community, the world?
As a member of the Albion Community Foundation’s Grants Committee, I help steward the responsible distribution of over $100,000 annually in scholarships and grants to diverse community organizations across Michigan. This volunteer role allows me to leverage my professional financial expertise to ensure meaningful support reaches those who need it most in our local area, creating educational opportunities and strengthening vital community programs that might otherwise go unfunded. My service represents my commitment to applying professional skills beyond the workplace to create lasting positive change in our community’s social and economic landscape.
