Lynette Stolarzyk is the managing principal of Baker Tilly's national tax practice. She joined the firm in 2015. Lynette leveraged her experience in public and private industry, as well as academia, to provide effective tax consulting and planning services and was a frequent presenter for the firm’s international tax practice. In recent years, Lynette has shifted her focus to leadership. She first served as managing principal of the specialty tax national practice, and now in a dual leadership role as the managing principal of our geographic practice in the Bay Area and the managing principal of our national tax practice.
Lynette is an inaugural participant in the firm’s Future Leaders Engage and Excel (FLEX) program, a learning journey that includes education and experiences that are connected by applied learning, senior leader mentorship, coaching and cohort community engagement. The inaugural cohort and learning team worked together to create a seamless development experience that addressed each high potential as a whole person – connecting principles of interpersonal, organizational and purposeful leadership.
Lynette leads with respect and trust, which are integral qualities of an outstanding leader. She leads more than 2000 team members across the firm and believes that developing team members makes them feel valued and builds trust; effective leadership is about empowering others to help them achieve success and grow in their careers and in the firm.
