Jayde Thompson is a Managing Director with Alvarez & Marsal Tax in Melbourne. With over 16 years of experience in corporate international taxation, Ms. Thompson is a trusted adviser to foreign investors, structuring their Australian investments and Australian corporates expanding offshore. She works closely with clients to navigate the complexities of the global tax landscape, providing expert guidance on structuring, compliance, and risk management in an ever-evolving international tax environment.

Ms. Thompson has served as the lead international tax adviser for numerous high-profile Australian and global accounts across diverse industries, including mining, technology, retail, consumer products, private equity, financial services, infrastructure, and manufacturing.

For the past decade, Ms. Thompson has focused on assisting clients around the globe in navigating the complex tax modeling, structuring, and compliance issues arising from the OECD Base Erosion and Profit Shifting Action Plan (BEPS 1.0)—including associated Australian measures, such as the Diverted Profits Tax and Multinational Anti-Avoidance Law—and the more recent OECD Pillar Two initiative to implement a global minimum tax (BEPS 2.0). 

Prior to joining A&M, Ms. Thompson spent almost 14 years at PwC, where she most recently served as a Partner in the Global Tax team. During her time there, she led the Pillar Two rollout across Australia and Asia-Pacific, the Australian hybrid mismatch implementation, and ESG Tax. Previously, she spent time at EY in New York and Australia, as well as working for ASX-listed Orica in a senior tax advisory role.

Ms. Thompson earned bachelor’s degrees in commerce and law from Deakin University, Australia, and a master’s in laws (concentration in international taxation) from the University of Melbourne.
