Biography
Lee was born in Hong Kong to Chinese parents who escaped the early upheavals of the PRC. Her family later relocated to the United States. She pursued her education at U.C. Berkeley, then attended the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs at Princeton University, and completed her MBA at Harvard Business School in 1995. Following positions at two investment banks, she advanced to become a partner at a hedge fund and a trader in credit derivatives. Between 2006 and 2007, Lee served as an instructor at Pace University, and from 2010 to 2012, she was a senior fellow at Demos, concentrating on U.S.-China relations and financial regulatory issues.
Writing
Her 2012 book, What the U.S. Can Learn from China (published by Berrett-Koehler), promotes a more cooperative approach by the United States toward China, a perspective highlighted by The Economist. Lee’s opinion pieces and essays have been featured in prominent outlets such as the Financial Times, Wall Street Journal, Newsweek, Business Week, Forbes, Huffington Post, The American Prospect, and Institutional Investor.
Media appearances
Lee frequently provides expert commentary on economic topics across various media platforms including Bloomberg, CNBC, ABC, CBS, CNN, NPR, VOA, C-SPAN, as well as international broadcasters like BBC, CCTV-America, Phoenix TV, Al Jazeera, and Swedish television.
