Lin Shi

Over the last decade, Lin has worked across sectors with the goal of raising the level of financial wellbeing for all. Through helping companies develop employee financial wellness programs and volunteering with nonprofits and government agencies on financial education and workforce development, she has seen how pervasive and debilitating financial stress can be across demographics.

Lin intends to test and build a novel financial coaching ecosystem that nurtures mutually empowering relationships amongst all its participants: financial coaches, coaching recipients, and sponsors. The goals of this ecosystem are to build a support system for coaching recipients, provide a living wage for financial coaches, and allow financial sponsors to see clear returns in their investment in communities.

Professionally, Lin is an actuary and consultant. She serves as a board member for several nonprofits helping the local community. She was selected as a Fulbright grantee and ambassador, and WEF Young Global Shaper.
