Nicolas Bourdon

As Tax Director at Upsun, I lead and oversee the company's global tax strategy and compliance across multiple jurisdictions. My role spans from advising on budgets, contracts, and stock-option plans, to providing strategic guidance on M&A transactions and international tax matters. I work closely with external advisors, tax authorities, and auditors to ensure compliance, manage audits and litigation, and design forward-looking tax planning strategies—including transfer pricing. In addition to my tax leadership responsibilities, I contribute as Senior Legal Counsel, overseeing our insurance portfolio and managing cross-functional, multi-jurisdictional projects that support the company's growth and risk management.
