About Hon N.
With over 18 years of experience in the legal and business fields, I am the General Counsel at Binance, the world's leading crypto-currency exchange. I also lead the Government Affairs and Policy team, overseeing the legal and regulatory function for Binance globally. In this role I have been tackling some of the toughest issues in the world of digital-assets, blockchain and Web 3. Before joining Binance, I was the Director of Business Development and the Legal Director at Uber, where we scaled the expansion and operations of the ride-hailing giant all-the-way to IPO. I was in charge of commercial legal affairs in the region for Uber and we negotiated and drafted hundreds of important commercial deals for the company helping Uber to acquire users to grow its business and revenue. Prior to going in-house, I was a senior attorney at top-tier law firms such as Latham & Watkins, White & Case and Herbert Smith Freehills where I advised extensively on M&A, JVs and capital markets work. Later on, I was seconded to the Qatar Supreme Committee for Delivery & Legacy to help the Government deliver a successful FIFA World Cup 2022. In addition, I am an active member of several legal committees and associations in the football industry, reflecting my passion and interest in sports and governance. Through my own journey I’ve found that I am truly passionate about: 1. Innovation and new-tech 2. New ways of doing things 3. Mission-driven founders and teams 4. Challenging the status quo and partnering with others to get to “yes” 5. Creating sustainable and happy teams who excel Please do reach out if you are interested to discuss any of these topics - I would be very glad to chat.
