Hi Reader, Fifteen years ago, I was climbing the ranks as a global legal executive — leading data privacy and compliance across Asia for billion-dollar companies. But something was missing. I was advising others on building powerful global businesses... but I hadn’t built my own. When I finally made the leap — moving to Dubai and founding ByteBao — I didn’t expect what came next. ✨ I found freedom in a place most people misunderstand. ✨ I discovered opportunity hiding behind bureaucracy. ✨ I...
