About Joseph Russo
I lead international tax for a multinational company (Harman International, a Samsung subsidiary) overseeing entity structuring, regulatory change, compliance execution, cash repatriation, and cross-border tax strategy.My role requires constant bridging between complex tax concepts (GILTI, BEAT, FTCs, Pillar Two, IFRS/U.S. GAAP) and real world business constraints (speed, systems, capital allocation, and decision making). I partner closely with Finance, Treasury, Legal, and FP & A to ensure tax keeps pace with the business and inform leadership decisions.A growing portion of my work centers on simplification and automation: reducing structural complexity, improving systems and data flow, and designing tax processes that scale without unnecessary friction.
