Career Biography
Since 2008, I have dedicated extensive experience to the investment and development of overseas power and energy projects. Over 16 years, I played a pivotal role in supporting a central state-owned enterprise’s overseas investment arm through its transformative journey from inception to global expansion. With deep expertise in cross-border investment, legal compliance, and risk management, I have provided core professional support for the standardisation and operationalisation of the company’s international operations.
Within cross-border investment and mergers and acquisitions, I have played a pivotal role in executing multiple critical projects: Following the successful bid for a coal-fired power project in Indonesia, I spearheaded negotiations and finalised the Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) and Shareholders’ Agreement, thereby unlocking the project’s commencement phase. I led the acquisition of an overseas power project, overseeing the entire legal due diligence process, price negotiations, and closing procedures to ensure end-to-end risk control throughout the transaction. During preliminary negotiations for a renewable energy project in Uzbekistan, I spearheaded the resolution of core challenges, facilitating the achievement of key consensus points. As the financing deadline approached for a major hydropower project in Laos, coordinated a team to conduct specialised work in Thailand, successfully resolving core financing issues to ensure the project progressed on schedule.
In establishing compliance and risk management frameworks, spearheaded the development of a legal compliance and risk control system tailored to the enterprise’s global operational requirements: the compliance management system led to ISO 37301 international compliance certification, providing foundational compliance safeguards for cross-border operations; introduced and implemented a top-tier risk management system, significantly enhancing risk anticipation and mitigation capabilities. This delivers specialised legal support for major business decisions, enabling steady advancement of the enterprise’s international expansion.
As head of legal affairs, spearheaded the establishment of a specialised legal and risk control team from inception: through experience-driven empowerment and professional training, drove significant enhancements in the team’s expertise, service efficiency, and risk resolution capabilities. The team’s service outcomes garnered high internal recognition within the company, while also achieving industry acclaim in cross-border compliance management, continuously empowering the enterprise to strengthen risk resilience and elevate operational efficiency.
