Lotus Cars appoints new Director of Legal & Compliance
Hethel, UK – 28 July 2022 Car manufacturer Lotus has announced the appointment of Pui-Yee Tang as its new Director of Legal & Compliance.
Pui-Yee has been the Head of Legal & Compliance since March 2021. This promotion to Director is recognition of her performance as the business transforms from a UK sports car company to a truly global performance car business and brand.
In addition to being responsible for all legal and compliance affairs at Lotus, Pui-Yee leads the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives across the company. She is also the Data Protection Officer at Lotus and an existing member of the Executive management team.
Pui-Yee commented: “Leading the Legal & Compliance team at Lotus is an exciting challenge where every day is different. We are going through a hugely ambitious transition, which means navigating through a wide variety of complex commercial procedures.”
She added: “I’m also proud to lead DEI at Lotus. We are further developing our framework to educate ourselves about how to correct inequities and lead inclusively. I am personally committed to support the company’s roadmap to promote equality.”
Prior to joining Lotus in September 2019, Pui-Yee was a director at a London law firm where her practice focused on complex commercial disputes, cross-border proceedings, class actions and investment activities.
