WASHINGTON, June 20, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Deloitte announced today that Robert Stack joined as a managing director, Deloitte Tax LLP, in its Washington National Tax, international tax practice. Stack previously served as the deputy assistant secretary for international tax affairs at the U.S. Department of Treasury.

Stack will advise Deloitte's U.S. clients and collaborate with Deloitte's global member firms on international tax developments and initiatives, including those from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).

"Bob brings an unsurpassed wealth of international tax experience to Deloitte," said Steve Kimble, chairman and CEO of Deloitte Tax LLP. "His experience in the global tax policy arena, along with his tax technical talent, dedication to serving clients, and devotion to growing the next generation of talent, will contribute greatly to the value we provide organizations and our people."

At the Treasury Department, Stack worked directly with the assistant secretary of tax policy and the international tax counsel in developing and implementing all aspects of U.S international tax policy, including treaties, regulations and legislative proposals.
