Ting-Ting Lin

Ting-Ting brings more than three decades of senior executive and academic experience to her work in executive coaching and mentoring.

For over ten years, she served as Vice President of Sales at Philips Electronics in Greater China. In this role, she worked closely with CEOs, executive leaders and emerging leadership teams within large, complex multinational organisations. During this time, she developed leaders operating under pressure while navigating scale, growth, cultural diversity and constant market change. At the same time, she maintained a strong focus on performance and strategic outcomes.

Earlier in her career, Ting-Ting spent a decade in academia as a tenured Professor at the University of California. She led government- and industry-funded research programs and managed complex research portfolios. In addition, she worked with cross-cultural, multidisciplinary teams. This experience strengthened her analytical capability, systems thinking and ability to operate effectively across diverse organisational and stakeholder contexts.

Across her career, Ting-Ting has supported leaders and organisations across a wide range of sectors, including automotive, consulting, financial services, FMCG, media, oil and gas, pharmaceuticals, technology, materials and manufacturing. As a result, she brings a strong global perspective, having worked with leaders at international, regional and local levels, including in entrepreneurial and high-growth environments.

Ting-Ting’s approach to executive coaching and mentoring is grounded in lifelong learning, personal accountability and practical alignment between thinking, behaviour and outcomes.

Her strength lies in the design and facilitation of coaching engagements that stimulate clear, coherent thinking, helping leaders work effectively across their personal leadership style, their teams, the broader organisation and the external environment. She supports individuals and leadership teams to clarify priorities, align around shared goals and make sound decisions in complex and competitive contexts.

With a background as a trained engineer and researcher, Ting-Ting brings strong logical thinking and objective analysis to leadership challenges, while balancing this with a deep appreciation for human dynamics and mindfulness. She frequently draws on tools such as the Balance Wheel to support self-awareness and the Business Balance Scorecard (BBSC) to help leadership teams align strategy, priorities and execution.

Her work consistently focuses on helping CEOs and senior leaders build leadership capability, develop high-performing teams and navigate growth, transition and complexity with clarity and confidence.
