New Leadership Interview, Yi-Ling Lin

In this month’s edition of the Leadership Interview series, CCA Past President Michael Clark talks with Yi-Ling Lin, a seasoned health actuary and current CCA President to explore the professional transitions that have shaped her career — from insurance to consulting to leadership. She opens up about realizing she gets bored easily, what that’s taught her about her drive for challenge, and how she stays mentally engaged.

  

Beyond her professional career, we discuss her leadership in the CCA, the value of volunteering, and how giving back can accelerate personal and professional growth. She also shares the origin story and mission of Abacus Actuaries, an organization empowering Asian actuaries to reach leadership roles and break through structural and cultural barriers.

  

Whether you're an actuary, a leader, or someone exploring meaningful career evolution, this conversation offers fresh insights and inspiration.
