Sara Lim

Sara is a certified coach, adjunct faculty member at Nanyang Business School and mother of two. She is also a researcher at INSEAD’s Global Private Equity Initiative, where she focuses on sustainable investing in private equity. Prior to joining academia, Sara was an investment professional at L Catterton, the largest consumer-focused private equity firm in the world. She began her career as an investment banking analyst at Morgan Stanley in Singapore.

In her private coaching practice, she primarily works with high-performing millennials (often with young children) who believe there is more to life than checking the boxes of conventional "success". She helps clients gain clarity on the work-life integration they want, then take concrete steps to create it.

Born and raised in Singapore, Sara holds an MBA from INSEAD and double degrees in Economics and Business Administration from the University of California at Berkeley.
