About

Andrew Gale is one of the few foreign-born corporate counsel based in Myanmar, where he acts as director of legal and regulatory at Asian telecommunications company edotco Group. A subsidiary of Axiata Group, edotco Group has gone on a remarkable journey in recent years. It was established in 2012 as the first integrated telecommunications infrastructure services company in Asia and its portfolio has since grown to include over 16,000 towers across the region. Gale joined edotco Group in December 2015 following its acquisition of Digicel Myanmar Tower Company (MTC), where he had worked since 2014. In spite of the challenges of acting as a legal advisor in a country that has only recently been opened to foreign capital, Gale has helped edotco Group grow from a start-up to one of Myanmar’s leading telecommunications providers and largest private companies by overseeing site acquisitions, complex lease agreements and financings. An Australian and New Zealand qualified lawyer, Gale is known for his commercial astuteness and is an expert in emerging markets legal and regulatory affairs. He has around 13 years’ experience in leading law firms and telecommunications companies.
