Lee In-kyung
53 | Partner-CFO, MBK Partners | South Korea
Lee is breaking the glass ceiling in South Korea’s investment world where only 4.6% of senior employees at private equity firms are women, according to research firm Preqin.
She joined MBK Partners in 2006 shortly after it was founded and saw the firm’s growth from $1.6 billion to $24 billion in AUM. In January 2020, Lee became the first female partner in MBK’s history, one of the largest North Asian private equity firms. She is also the only woman among its current 13 partners and acts as the firm’s chief financial officer and head of limited partner relations. Prior to joining MBK, Lee worked as a CFO at Morgan Stanley Properties in Seoul. –Rana Wehbe Watson
