Managing Director & Founder

Alistair, the Managing Director and Founder of Blackden Consulting, has been an expat resident of Geneva for most of his life and therefore understands the intricacies involved with US people relocating for work.

​In early 2018, Alistair founded Blackden Consulting, identifying an unmet need to link US tax professionals with US tax consultancies and in-house firms in Europe.​

Drawing upon his extensive knowledge of the US tax industry, Alistair has established valuable connections with key decision-makers at Big 4 firms, boutique CPA, tax advisory, and accounting companies of varying sizes.​
