HOUSTON, TX, June 22, 2015 -- Global Tax Network (GTN) announced that Mark Tirpak has joined the team as Managing Director of GTN's South region, which covers Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama. Tirpak will lead the charge for GTN South out of his suburban Houston office in The Woodlands, TX, where he will continue to build out the team to support clients in that region.

"Mark is highly qualified and has vast experience in the world of mobility tax," stated Dave Kolb, President of GTN. "He is a strong leader and the right person to oversee and lead GTN South to its full potential. Mark is the perfect fit for our company, for our clients, and for our future."

Tirpak has over 14 years of experience working with multinational companies to ensure globally mobile employees (and their employers) fully benefit from the experience. These have included high tech, financial services and oil and gas companies for whom full tax compliance and speed of deployment are essential for doing business around the globe. While providing tax advice for entities and their mobility programs, Tirpak has continued to refine and demonstrate his skills as a presenter and host of a number of specialist tax seminars.

Tirpak began his career with PwC's International Assignment Services practice where he gained extensive experience in advising multinational companies on global mobility related issues including expatriate taxation, payroll, equity compensation planning, international assignment policy review, and program administration. He has worked in various locations including Tokyo, Japan; San Jose, CA; and Houston, TX.

"My transition to GTN couldn't have gone smoother," noted Tirpak, "My first day was spent in Denver with the Operations team for our quarterly strategic operations meeting. It was a great introduction to the GTN team, the GTN culture, and our focus on providing outstanding client service."

Tirpak earned his Bachelor of Science degree in Business Economics & Public Policy from Indiana University's Kelley School of Business and is an IRS Enrolled Agent. In his free time he enjoys spending time with his wife Mayumi and daughter Lily.
