How Jeffrey is building a better working world
“In my role as an innovation leader, I’m helping to drive not just new services, but people initiatives — how we empower our people to creatively solve client problems at the engagement level. I also liaise with the external innovation ecosystem of academics, startups and corporate innovation leaders to discover new services and advance our innovation.”
Jeff frequently speaks on tax policy and innovation topics in the US. In 2018, he delivered a talk on blockchain for government tax authorities at the MIT Media Lab as part of the Blockchain in Action summit. In 2016, he delivered a TEDxBeaconStreet Talk on the idea that imposing a carbon tax could help mitigate the harmful effects of climate change."
