About Patrick Lau

Hello, World! For over 15 years, my mission has been to transform data into something useful for legal teams, helping them achieve greater success and innovation. My portfolio covers data science, data engineering, advanced analytics, AI/ML, and Generative AI (powered by Vertex AI). I currently lead the Business Intelligence Group within Google Legal and Global Affairs. We push the art of decision making to be more quantified and scientific, channeling the incredible power of data visualization to move leaders from indecision to smart choices. At Google, I\'ve helped steer $XB in investment spend, forecast and track multi-year plans, operationalize KPIs for teams managing high-risk legal issues, build chatbots / agents with reasoning loops, and more. If you have a nerdy passion for window functions, we should seriously aggregate.
