Background

About Pablo Gentini

Navigating the intricate world of international tax has been my passion for nearly two decades. My journey has taken me through over 55 countries across EMEA and LATAM, where I’ve faced regulatory challenges head-on and turned them into opportunities for innovation. Each country tells its own story, and I thrive on weaving those narratives into effective tax strategies that not only comply with local regulations but also align with global standards. Currently at Johnson & Johnson as a Senior Tax Manager, I lead VAT compliance processes across 40+ countries in EMEA. Here, I’ve elevated our operations by implementing standardized indirect tax procedures that reduce audit risks while ensuring adherence to evolving regulations. It’s rewarding to see how these efforts create a more streamlined approach to compliance across diverse markets. Before this role, I transformed tax compliance for 30 legal entities across 15 LATAM countries during my time at Johnson & Johnson as well. This initiative was rolled out globally through a co-sourcing model that not only enhanced efficiency but also fostered collaboration among teams. It’s amazing how teamwork can lead to significant improvements in complex environments. My earlier experiences include managing accounting tax operations at Arcos Dorados (McDonald's LATAM) where I developed frameworks for transfer pricing documentation and cash-flow optimization strategies. At Lenovo, I transformed tax operations across Latin American countries by implementing standardized processes that minimized risk exposure. Outside of work, I enjoy sharing my knowledge with others—whether it's mentoring young professionals or participating in community discussions about international tax trends. I believe that learning is a two-way street; every conversation enriches my perspective.
