YOUR CAREER JOURNEY HAS TRAVERSED MULTIPLE COUNTRIES WITH ROLES IN-HOUSE AS WELL AS PRIVATE PRACTICE. CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT YOUR JOURNEY SO FAR? I am currently the General Counsel & Chief Compliance Officer of TLC Industries and was hired as part of Goldman Sachs Asset Management’s investment in TLC in March 2022. My expertise is in construction projects, governance controls and turnaround management. TLC is a property developer with a specialised expertise in sustainable modular construction, operating across the Asia-Pacific.
I am also responsible for delivering the group’s compliance program, the core focus of which is on corporate governance, anti-bribery/anti-corruption controls, data protection, diversity/inclusion, and supply chain controls. Prior to joining TLC, I worked at Norton Rose LLP in London and Abu Dhabi. I then moved in-house and was Corporate Counsel at Jacobs Engineering Group in Singapore, Mumbai, and Hong Kong.
