About

During her ten years in-house, Michelle Fang’s career has followed a steep upwards trajectory. ‘She is a knowledgeable, strategic problem-solver and not afraid to take responsibility for crucial company decisions,’ says one industry source. StubHub’s general counsel since October 2014, Fang heads domestic and international legal operations across the US, Germany and Luxembourg, taking a deep involvement in business strategy. She previously spent eight years at Stubhub’s parent company eBay, where she transitioned from leading North America litigation to global intellectual property head in 2013. ‘I said to the general counsel, I want to do something different, and I really hope it’s at eBay,’ she says on the move. Spending less than two years in the role, Fang headed a highly acclaimed legal team, and led innovative strategies which set precedents within the industry. She is an active participant in a number of working groups, including Intellectual Professionals and Anti-Counterfeiting.
