About this episode

“To me it's about pragmatism. It's about iteration, it's about listening and it's about striking out a way forward." - Andy Hovancik

Today, Albert speaks with Andy Hovancik, CEO of Sovos, a company that safeguards businesses from the burden and risk of modern tax. Andy has more than 25 years of experience growing technology companies, 15 years of which have been in regulatory and compliance software. Andy joined Sovos in 2013 and has since overseen the integration of businesses, creating the most connected and complete global solution for modern tax.

On this episode of Mission Daily, Andy Hovancik discusses how tax collection on goods and services has been at the root of some of the world’s biggest challenges and what he’s doing to change that.
