Singapore, Singapore
I have exceptional skills and diverse experience having worked as a corporate/M&A lawyer in Australia and the UAE, as a technology lawyer in Singapore, as in-house counsel in the Regional Commercial Team at Microsoft and now supporting Microsoft in the biggest technological endeavour of our time - building and delivering the global infrastructure for cloud and AI which underpins many critical services in our economies and societies. My commerce degree and finance/accounting major, in addition to my law degree, allow me to deeply understand commercial and business drivers in executing our strategic deals. As a tech lawyer, I have helped clients with their everyday commercial contracts and advising them on laws that relate to their business and operations, such as data privacy, IP and licensing issues. I have also supported clients in executing transactions in the TMT industry, including technology collaboration and digital transformation agreements, towers/telcos deals and the TMT elements of M&A transactions. I now support Microsoft to build and lease data centres across Asia. Personally, I am passionate in contributing to our global efforts against the effects of climate change and am proud to work for a company that has ambitious environmental targets, including by being carbon negative, water positive and waste negative by 2030.
I lead end‑to‑end legal support for datacenter land acquisition, development, leasing, energy connections, and community affairs across APAC. My work spans transactional drafting and negotiation, risk mitigation and litigation, regulatory interpretation and advocacy, cross‑functional orchestration, and outside counsel governance, touching strategy, execution, and compliance across multiple organizations and markets. I own critical closing decisions, set external counsel economics and deliverables, and brief and steer leadership—bearing front‑line legal responsibility for transactions and risk outcomes.
In this role I help my clients build the world's best cloud and AI infrastructure.
