Hi, I'm Ling, and I'm a Management Accountant at Airtree. I'm the person who makes sure the financial operations at Airtree run smoothly behind the scenes. My role sits at the intersection of precision and problem-solving - keeping systems efficient, payments flowing, and everyone supported so they can focus on what they do best.

I moved to Australia from Shanghai when I was 18 and have spent my career across FMCG, education, and financial services. What drew me to venture capital is the energy of working alongside people building genuinely innovative companies. Every day, I'm exposed to new ideas and technologies, which keeps the work interesting and pushes me to stay sharp.

A common thread throughout my career

I'm a firm believer in thinking one step ahead. The best solutions often come from anticipating needs before they become problems, and I enjoy finding ways to make complex processes feel effortless.

What I nerd out over

I've become completely obsessed with photographing Australian skies. There's something magical about driving two hours into the darkness to catch the aurora australis, or watching the clouds turn crimson at sunset. I'm slowly building a collection of these moments - each one feels like capturing something fleeting and extraordinary. My dream is to one day have a proper archive of Australia's skies in all their moods.

Here’s where you’ll find me on the weekend

I've always been obsessed with the clouds in Australia, so you'll find me out and about taking pictures of the sky to add to my album.
