"Kathya and Chris bring decades of expertise that will help us continue to lead in this space, equipping our customers with the technology and insights they need to stay compliant and competitive in an increasingly digital tax environment."

Hall is a recognized leader in ERP integration, tax technology and digital compliance solutions. With over 30 years of experience, he has been instrumental in driving innovation at the intersection of tax automation and enterprise systems, working extensively with leading ERP systems, including SAP and Oracle. Before joining Vertex, he served as Director of Global Indirect Tax Strategy and European Taxes at Ford, where he focused on compliance, process automation, audits and strategic tax planning. His expertise in data-driven compliance, tax process automation and indirect tax management positions him as a key asset in Vertex's mission to provide businesses with seamless, technology-driven tax solutions.
