About the Guests

Dominic Vitucci Bio


Dominic was always poised to disrupt the tax industry. To get the required hours for the CPA, he decided to study both accounting and computer science. With two degrees in hand, Dominic started his career as integral part of the Grant Thornton Tax Innovation team.


Throughout his tenure, he had the unique opportunity to interact with firm experts, each sharing their ambitious visions for cutting-edge technologies. In August 2020, inspired by these encounters, he made the bold decision to leave Grant Thornton and devote himself full-time to building a truly innovative R&D credit technology.



Hillary Dubé Bio


Hillary Dubé is a dynamic professional who transitioned into the R&D Tax Credit Industry in 2019 working for a multinational credits and incentives firm, after a successful, nearly decade long career in the corporate Beauty Industry. Through her work in R&D Credits, she had the opportunity to meet and assist numerous pork producers in the United States with their R&D Tax credit needs, leading her to develop a strong affinity for the pork industry and agriculture at large.


Hillary’s transition to SPRX last year provides a unique perspective and has enabled her to effectively connect with pork producers to streamline their R&D tax credit process to minimize time spent, while maximizing their benefits. Her dedication to the pork industry and passion for fostering this new innovative approach within agriculture have positioned her as a respected leader in the industry.
