Thomson Reuters and Asia Legal Business have recently named me one of the “ALB Asia Top 15 GCs 2024”. I know the teams there have done months of intense research, interviewing market practitioners, in order to arrive at this. Thank you Thomson Reuters and Asian Legal Business However, what I also want to say this: (1). I know many GCs in Asia and to be frank, most of them are, in many ways, better than me – experience wise, negotiation wise, knowledge wise. I have learnt a lot from them through deals, conversations, panel discussions, etc. (2). I am also forever indebted to all my (current and former) bosses and colleagues in my journey to where I am – whether it is at Slaughter and May, Morgan Stanley or CLSA. I have learnt so much from them in the last couple of decades, whether in professional skills, social skills or management skills. (3). Lastly, I am also grateful to all the fellow lawyers and professionals I have worked with, whether on the other side of the deal or on my side assisting me. Thank you to you all! You know who you are. Without your kindness in sharing your thoughts, your experience with me, I wouldn’t be who I am today.
