AVALARA HIRES EMEA VP Featured

Mehrdad Talaifar, Avalara Avalara has named Mehrdad Talaifar as VP of its EMEA operations. Talaifar, based in London, England, is another link in the sales and use tax company's plans for global expansion. Well, they have to spend that $100-million investment somewhere, don't they? Talaifar has strong credentials in the indirect tax area. He was principal of global tax technology services for Ryan from August 2013 until last month. Before that, he was senior director of strategic relations for EMEA for Thomson Reuters from January 2011 through August 2013.

He had a nearly 10-year tenure at the former Sabrix, which was purchased by Thomson, late in 2009. Talaifar's last job was as VP of European operations from May 2009 through December 2010 and he was also VP of the Sabrix channel network from May 2009 through December 2010, handy since Avalara is channel oriented. And his solid credentials include 11 years five months with the former Arthur Andersen—September 1989-January 2001—where he was a principal.
