He occasionally serves as an interim Head of Tax for companies facing complex tax situations.
Mr. de Jong approaches every engagement with the unique perspective of a professional who has led an in-house M&A tax function of a company regularly involved in transactions valued from $10 million to $20+ billion.

Mr. de Jong’s broad structuring and transactional background, practical approach to problem-solving, deep experience in cross-border situations across a wide array of industries and ability to communicate complex tax concepts to non-tax professionals make him a valued contributor to any deal team from the very outset of a potential transaction.
