• Set and execute CoreWeave’s APAC regulatory and compliance strategy, including regional priorities, risk assessments, governance frameworks, escalation standards, and implementation roadmaps aligned with global legal and business objectives.
• Lead legal and regulatory diligence for entry into and expansion across APAC markets, identifying licensing, registration, foreign investment, data localization, infrastructure, operating‑model, and other jurisdiction‑specific requirements and recommending practical launch conditions.
• Monitor, interpret, and operationalize laws and regulatory developments affecting cloud and AI infrastructure across the region, including privacy and data protection, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, critical infrastructure, telecommunications and digital services, international trade, sanctions, anti‑bribery and corruption, competition, consumer protection, environmental, and supply‑chain requirements.
• Serve as a primary regulatory advisor to APAC business and functional leaders on strategic initiatives, significant transactions, product and infrastructure launches, customer and partner engagements, and other matters presenting novel or material regional risk.
• Build and mature scalable regional compliance programs, including policies, procedures, risk assessments, control mappings, approval frameworks, training, monitoring, third‑party diligence, decision records, and audit‑ready evidence.
• Partner with Product, Engineering, Security, Privacy, and Data Center Operations to embed applicable regulatory requirements into product design, technical architecture, data flows, security practices, infrastructure deployment, and operational processes.
• Advise on APAC trade and supply‑chain compliance, including export controls, sanctions, import and customs requirements, technology transfers, restricted‑party screening, end‑use and end‑user diligence, and escalation of higher‑risk transactions or jurisdictions.
• Lead significant regulatory inquiries, audits, investigations, licensing matters, and government engagements across APAC; develop response strategy, coordinate cross‑functional teams, oversee local counsel, and drive remediation and follow‑up.
• Provide senior legal guidance on regional cybersecurity incidents, regulatory reporting, government data‑access requests, and other critical escalations, ensuring timely, consistent, and defensible decisions across affected jurisdictions.
• Partner with Government Affairs and regional stakeholders to anticipate regulatory change, assess business impact, inform policy positions, and support constructive engagement with regulators, industry groups, and standards bodies.
• Manage regional outside counsel and specialist advisors effectively, including scope, quality, budget, and development of durable internal knowledge and playbooks.

• Deep expertise in several regulatory areas relevant to CoreWeave’s APAC operations, such as privacy and data protection, cybersecurity, AI governance, cloud or telecommunications regulation, critical infrastructure, international trade and sanctions, anti‑bribery and corruption, competition, or supply‑chain compliance.
• Significant experience conducting multi‑jurisdictional market‑entry and expansion assessments and translating divergent local requirements into coherent regional strategies and scalable controls.
• Experience designing, implementing, or overseeing compliance programs, including policies, governance processes, training, monitoring, investigations, third‑party diligence, and evidence demonstrating compliance.
• Experience engaging directly with regulators and government authorities and managing sensitive inquiries, audits, investigations, licensing matters, or enforcement‑related issues across APAC.
