Background

About Catherine Light

With over 17 years of experience in tax, I have spent the last 7 years in Singapore helping global organisations rethink how they approach tax transformation and implement the right technology at the right time. Throughout my career, I have been fortunate to lead transformation projects across regions, work with outstanding clients, and unlock hidden potential within tax functions. I am passionate about: • Developing tax strategies that align with overall business goals and evolving Tax Authority expectations • Practising human-centric leadership and fostering inclusive culture • Driving change to make tax accessible for technology teams • Leveraging AI and automation to future-proof the tax function • Building trust through transparency, consistency, and fairness What I am most proud of, however, is not just delivering complex solutions for global multinationals—it is building strong, inclusive teams that thrive. I believe the future of leadership lies in truly seeing people: recognising their strengths, realising their potential, and amplifying their voices. That is how you unlock performance.
