Director of legal services Asia Pacific | Accenture

About

The ‘very impressive’ Thierry Lintermans manages a team of around 75 across the whole of Asia Pacific, including Southeast Asia, Australia, New Zealand, India, Japan and China. He previously spent ten years in Accenture’s Belgium office, before relocating to Singapore three years ago. ‘It’s a booming and emerging market,’ he said on the move. ‘It was an opportunity not to be missed’. One major focus in his current position has been developing the prominence of the Asia Pacific part of Accenture’s legal function, and‘making sure people understand the need to think outside the box’. The changes Lintermans has made to achieve this have included two team reorganisations with the aims of developing talent and increasing people’s ability to work independently. ‘My biggest achievement has been working with and developing people to ensure they are highly engaged,’ he says.‘Culture comes into it a lot, and working out how people want to work with you and how they perceive you is just an amazing challenge’. On the subject of outside counsel, Lintermans emphasises the need to be practical and to work in partnership with lawyers inside the business: ‘Sometimes they don’t recognise we know as much as they do’.
