She also led ONE’s Analytics & Insights function and oversaw the organisation’s China business.

Earlier in her career, Lin was a strategy consultant at L.E.K. Consulting before transitioning into principal investing roles at Mission Holdings, VisVires Capital Asia, and Volta Circle. She began her professional career as a litigation lawyer at Drew & Napier LLC.

Lin holds an MBA from INSEAD, an LLB (Hons) from the National University of Singapore, and has completed MIT’s Applied Data Science Program. She is admitted as an Advocate & Solicitor of the Supreme Court of Singapore and is fluent in Mandarin.
