In this episode of The Corporate Counsel Show, host Jerome Doraisamy welcomes back Pax8 head of legal (APAC) Mel Storey to discuss her journey in law and why in-house life has been so stimulating for her, the mandate she has been given to grow Pax8’s presence in the Asia-Pacific region, her goals for this new chapter of her corporate legal life, and her definition of a good in-house lawyer, and how she’ll look to apply that definition to what she is trying to achieve in her new role.
Storey also details the practical steps she is planning to take to grow Pax8’s APAC presence, the questions to be asked of herself and the law department in achieving success, balancing the BAU against the forward-looking growth, incorporating a wellness strategy into the broader approach, the challenges she foresees on the horizon and how she plans to navigate these, and why it is so critical for in-house counsel tasked with business growth to “eat an elephant one bite at a time”.
