  • Jan 2016 - Dec 2016

  As Regional Business Manager (Commercial & Legal) (“RBM”) in iCommerce Asia Private Limited, I handled a broad range of work in a startup eCommerce supply chain company which required an understanding of the legal, regulatory, business and operational needs of the Company in APAC. Primarily served as legal counsel for the Company which included but was not limited to drafting and reviewing of contracts (service contracts, employment contracts, corporate agreements). In addition, I handled corporate secretarial work, liased with external lawyers, legal representatives and third parties on all matters pertaining to the legal aspects of the Company. I also provided legal research and advice and handled project coordination in her capacity as RBM. I was also the key coordinator for the fund raising of the Company’s Pre Series A investment round. This involved drafting and reviewing commercial agreements including Shareholder’s Agreement and Share Subscription Agreement and independently liaising, consulting and negotiating with investors. On a day to day basis, I was required to understand and manage the business and operational needs of the company. At times, my role also required me to undertake business development responsibilities such as sourcing for clients and meeting with both partners and clients. Passionate about e-Commerce and Technology, I am most intrigued by eCommerce law and Internet regulation, particularly in APAC. I am called as an Advocate and Solicitor of the Supreme Court of Singapore. I am proficient in both English and Mandarin. Show less
