My career started in Australia but I have been based in Hong Kong and Singapore for over 25 years, successfully building and leading Asia technology practices in two previous international law firms, with a stint as Asia Legal Director for 3Com providing me with an in-house perspective. In recent years, I have transitioned from partnership to a role as consultant, focusing on providing strategic insight and adding value to Asia regional technology projects.

I am admitted as a barrister and solicitor in Australia and as a solicitor in Hong Kong.
