About Pedro G.

As the Vice President of Tax at American Electric Power, I lead the company's global tax strategy, compliance, and risk management for its diversified portfolio. With over 9 years of experience in this role, I have successfully directed corporate tax planning, M&A transactions, and government tax advocacy while ensuring compliance with evolving tax laws. I have a proven track record of leading a team of 30 tax professionals responsible for strategic tax planning and compliance for 11 states and international operations. I have led tax-efficient M&A transactions, including a major $6 billion acquisition that optimized the tax structure and saved the company millions of dollars. I have also introduced new policies and systems to simplify tax reporting, reduce filing errors, and improve internal efficiency by 25%. Additionally, I have advocated for tax policy changes at the state level, demonstrating my ability to influence tax legislation and regulations.
