About Mesh At Mesh, our mission is to enable consumers to pay and be paid with any asset. Today, trillions of dollars in tokenized assets exist but remain largely unusable for everyday commerce. Mesh
Key Highlights
- Own Mesh’s regulatory strategy across APAC. Lead the region’s licensing roadmap from defining regulatory positioning and activity classifications to driving licensing applications through to approval.
- Build trusted regulatory relationships. Serve as Mesh’s primary legal counterpart with regulators across APAC, while developing and managing a network of top-tier external counsel in key markets.
- Turn regulatory change into business decisions. Stay ahead of developments across digital assets, payments, stablecoins, VASP frameworks, and the Travel Rule, translating complex requirements into practical, decision-ready guidance.
- Enable growth through strategic legal advice. Partner with business leaders on product structuring, market expansion, and commercial partnerships, while advising on agreements with exchanges, fintechs, payment providers, and financial institutions.
- Represent Mesh in high-impact conversations. Join enterprise and strategic partnership discussions where regulatory credibility matters, providing confident, commercially minded legal leadership at the table.

- Qualified lawyer with 10+ years of experience in financial services, fintech, payments, or digital assets.
- Deep APAC regulatory expertise, including direct engagement with regulators such as MAS, HKMA, FSC, FSA, and other regional authorities, with experience navigating complex regulatory matters across multiple jurisdictions.
- Strong understanding of digital assets, stablecoins, crypto payments, and related infrastructure, not just the regulatory frameworks, but how these systems operate in practice.
- Experience advising on payments products, infrastructure, licensing, or regulatory regimes (e.g., MAS MPI, PSP and equivalent frameworks).

- Commercially minded and pragmatic, with the judgment to balance risk, growth, and partnership objectives while enabling the business to move forward.
- Exceptional communicator who can translate complex legal and regulatory issues into clear, actionable guidance for executives, product, commercial, and operational teams.
- Prior experience at a crypto exchange, fintech, neobank, payments company, or digital asset infrastructure provider is highly valued.
