Burat Luengthada
Legal director | Pfizer
Burat Luengthada led a cross-functional team in the implementation of new FCPA-related procedures, including a new pre-approval online system and process for Thailand and Indochina. He greatly relishes the daily challenges of collaborating with colleagues at a local and global level within the world’s largest pharmaceutical company: ‘There is always something new’. During his time in the role, Luengthada says he has taken steps to streamline processes in the legal department and shift mindsets in the organisation on handling compliance. ‘Burat impresses with his thorough understanding of business complexities in his industry,’ says one private practice lawyer. ‘His ability to maintain a reciprocal and trusting relationship is key to the efficient and true partnering between in-house and outside counsels, to the benefits of both’.
