Chief legal officer | Huawei, China
Huawei, one of the world’s premier telecoms companies, manages a staggeringly complex set of operations. With more than 170,000 employees covering its global activities and revenues of over $60bn, it is a company that requires the very best representation from its advisers. As such, the position of chief legal officer at Huawei carries an extreme degree of responsibility, and it is Song Liuping that takes up this challenge. Fortunately, he is a prodigiously talented legal professional with a vast amount of experience. His career with Huawei began over two decades ago in 1996. Familiar with all aspects of the company’s operations, Song has had positions in a number of different departments within Huawei, including product strategy, intellectual property and external cooperation. He has also sat on the company’s human resources and compliance committees, providing them with the benefit of his legal advice while developing a deep understanding of the company’s operations.
