Bio:
Jane Lim is currently working as an associate consultant in L.E.K. Consulting and is based in New York. She was born in Australia, but grew up in Singapore, and consequently views street food as an integral part of life. She graduated cum laude from Northwestern University, with a BSc in Industrial Engineering, a second major in Economics, and a minor in Film studies. Prior to officially joining the workforce, she interned at a law firm, an investment management firm, the interest rate derivatives desk at a bank, and also waitressed at the Ritz. Going forward, Jane wants to help alleviate poverty either by influencing public policy, or by empowering individuals through microfinance and venture philanthropy. She also has a great love for film, and hopes to direct documentaries in the future about systemic injustice, with the end to inform and influence a broader audience. She plans to pursue a joint MBA/MPP degree in the near term, and amongst other things, looks forward to seeing the world's largest equestrian statue in Mongolia.
