Sponsored by: Alteryx | The Foundation Comes First: Building a Tax Data Strategy That Scales with AI

AI, agents, predictive modeling and the next wave of tax innovation depend on something deceptively simple: the right data, in the right place, ready to use. In this session, Cheria Coram, Director, Tax Technology and Data Enablement at Starbucks, shares her vision for evolving tax data strategy from reactive data wrangling to intentional foundation building. Drawing on her experience leading data and automation for a global tax function, she'll cover how Alteryx unlocked efficiency in data transformation and why the next critical unlock is centralizing, governing and designing tax-processed data for reuse across the tax lifecycle. She'll also share where the team is headed next, using Alteryx with Databricks to build a scalable foundation that enables tax-ready modeling today and positions the team to layer on analytics, AI and whatever comes next.
