Before moving in-house, I advised clients at Cheang & Ariff on IPOs and fundraising on Bursa Securities' ACE Market and Main Market, venture capital and private equity investments from seed to growth stage, and buy-side M&A transactions. I translate legal and financial concepts into actionable strategies that support business growth and innovation.
