Andy Froberg, Tax Director at Global Infrastructure Partners: The exciting thing about tax (You read it right)

In this episode, you’ll hear Andy Froberg Tax Director at GIP, a private equity fund which goes to investors to invest their money and to generate returns for them. Andy has to find a way to put together all the promises GIP has made to investors with all the tax regulations that apply. That’s the big picture. Almost every single human activity that everybody is doing right now all over the world has tax consequences. And all tax systems require to classify all human activities. That’s what first attracted Andy to tax: a passion for classification. As justice Oliver Wendell Homes once said: "Taxes are what we pay for civilized society." Even if, I would add, we always ask for a discount.  Where is the creativity in tax systems? That’s the question of the week. It’s time to listen to him.
