Tara Ruggeri

Head of Global Transaction Support at Sanofi

Speaker

I graduated LaSalle University in Philadelphia in 2025 with a BS in Accounting and post that became a Certified Public Accountant (CPA).

I spent 7.5 years in Public Accounting at KPMG Philadelphia in Audit serving mainly manufacturing clients.

I’ve been at Sanofi for 12 years with the first few years spending time in US reporting doing financial analysis and technical accounting with a focus on North America’s key transactions. About 4 years ago I transitioned into a Global Technical accounting transaction role where I am part of the Corporate Consolidation and Statutory reporting team whereby everyone is based in Paris France except myself. My team is responsible for documenting from an IFRS and technical accounting aspect all key transactions globally including M&A, divestitures, in licensing IP, out licensing IP, etc. We operate similar to a Big Four consulting team would for key transactions.

I’ve sat on the AAG for PhRMA, not for profit based in Washington D.C.
