Erica Chan of Wal-Mart Stores Inc.

2018 saw Walmart pay USD16 billion to purchase burgeoning Indian ecommerce business Flipkart, heralding the retail giant’s entry into a thriving Indian ecommerce market which had previously been dominated by Amazon. Overseeing the deal for Walmart was its Hong Kong-based general counsel for Asia, Erica Chan, whose deft handling of the transaction was found to be “extremely impressive” by commentators, who add: “What she pulled off in getting the deal done was well over and above the call of duty, it was a different level of responsibility.” Chan joined Walmart in 2011 after almost 15 years in the legal department of STAR TV and is a highly experienced transactional lawyer with well-honed skills in M&A and wider commercial issues. She is also a member of the President’s Inclusion Council at Walmart, an advisory committee chaired by CEO Doug McMillon seeking to foster an inclusive workplace for women and other minorities.
