Portrait of Eric Lin, Oberlin College & Conservatory

Eric Lin

Associate Professor of Business · Chair of the Business Program

Oberlin College & Conservatory

Eric Lin studies how people build careers and how organizations decide what that work is worth. His research takes apart executive pay, the moves people make between jobs, and the gender gaps that open up along the way - asking, in each case, what is really driving the number. He teaches business and finance to undergraduates at Oberlin, and came to the classroom after nine years at McKinsey and a doctorate at Harvard Business School.
