TTPP66: Award-Winning In-House Tax Leader Shares Her Advice with Tasneem Kadiri

Tasneem Kadiri is Tax Director at L’Oréal, chair of Women in Tax, and winner of Tolley’s Taxation Award for best in-tax leader.

All great achievements, I think you’ll agree!

And whilst she has achieved great things in her career, it hasn’t always been smooth sailing.

Tasneem describes herself as having the cards stacked against her, being Indian, being a female who’s short, and having children.

She’s had some difficult times because of this.

These thing shouldn’t make a different, but we are still unfortunately in a world where they do.

Despite this, Tasneem has still achieved what she has. She’s a testament to the importance of taking control of your own tax career and the importance of self-development.

A true inspiration to many!

She shares details of how she’s got to where she is within the episode – see the “You’ll Learn” section below for more details on what is covered in the episode along with rough timings.

Listen to this episode to hear all of Tasneem’s great wisdom, which I’ve no doubt will help you to improve your tax career and provide some inspiration!
