Jane Yang

Alumni Update:

After two years in DC working in public sector consulting, Jane finally gave in to the siren call of Nairobi again. She’s now working on the central strategy and research team in One Acre Fund. Outside of the office, it’s incredible to see Nairobi continue to grow as a metropolis, and she’s so glad to be able to enjoy all it has to offer from rock-climbing to picnics in Nairobi National Park to a casual evening of board games with friends. And, of course, the PiAf family — Nairobi is now 14 strong amongst the current Fellows and alumni!
