As an international business executive who “did it backwards”, Dinah inspires audiences with her personal stories and life lessons that “It’s Never Too Late!”
Now a vibrant 79, Dinah’s life exemplifies her message: beginning her career at 36 (after being a full time mom for 15 years), getting her MBA from Columbia Business School at 40, climbing the corporate ladder and finally “breaking the glass ceiling” to become Vice President at a Fortune 500, before moving to Beijing at 58 to study Chinese and re-connect with her roots. A year turned into a decade, as she watched with pride and amazement at the unprecedented transformation of China.
Dinah and her family escaped on the last boat out of Shanghai in 1949. She grew up in a small town in Ohio where they were the only Asian family. Early marriage and motherhood dashed her dream of becoming a diplomat working to improve relations between the U.S. and China. She has always felt a deep sense of pride and gratitude for being both Chinese and American.
Prior to moving to Beijing, Ms. Lin was an international executive and entrepreneur with two decades of experience ranging from high-tech start-ups to Fortune 500 companies. Dinah also served as a senior official in Washington, D.C. from 1989-1992.
Her memoir, “Daring to Dream Once Again – It’s Never Too Late!” reached #4 on Amazon in Women & Business.
