It's structural: when your job is to be the last word on what's true, speaking in public carries a cost most executives never have to price. So a list of the ones who do it anyway is a short list. Introducing the 2026 Controllers & Tax Power List — nineteen leaders who carry real scope and still choose to explain the craft. TRACK I — THE CONTROLLERS Stephanie Lepori (Caesars Entertainment) · Julie Bishop, CPA, CTP (McAfee) · Johnbull Okpara (Bank of America) · Lindsey Oshita (Franklin Templeton) · Danielle Bastardi, CPA (National Football League (NFL)) · Sarrah Schoenewald (UPS) · Aditya Maheshwari (Dollar Tree Stores) · Renee Jewell (Airbnb) · Junko Swain (Workiva) · Lauren Hotz (Intuit) · AJ Harris (Los Angeles Lakers) TRACK II — THE TAX CHIEFS Urvi Doshi Sood (Lockheed Martin) · Stephen Dunphy, CPA (Ross Stores, Inc.) · Joseph Bertucci (Digital Realty) · Shelley Chase, CPA (Patagonia) · Gus Makris (Dow) · Sandhya Edupuganty (Sabre) · Kanthi Morrissey (IBM) · Emily Whittenburg (Nike) Congratulations to all nineteen — the people who sign the numbers the enterprise runs on. https://lnkd.in/gEQFnYFF #ChiefAccountingOfficer #Tax #Controller #Finance #Accounting #LeadersToWatch #CounselCollective
