Karen Ye is a second year MBA student at the School of Management exploring cross-sector climate and decarbonization solutions. At CBEY, Karen writes for the Clean Energy Finance Forum.

This past summer, Karen interned at DBL Partners, an impact VC based out of California, and supported capital deployment out of their $600M Fund IV. Prior to attending Yale, Karen worked as a strategy consultant at Bain & Co. and advised utilities and pension funds on navigating the energy transition. Outside of consulting, Karen has experience in the philanthropic sector, working on Google.org's Strategy & Operations team during COVID-19 to help manage their corporate giving strategy.
