Madeleine began her career in Southeast Asia, first as a PiA Fellow in Singapore and later advising global companies on political risk and market strategy. She now works as an employment lawyer at the NBA, focusing on issues affecting its global workforce.
Why I’d hire a PiAer:
They take initiative, communicate across cultures, and stay grounded under pressure. That perspective is hard to teach.

PiA China ’86
Lisa Heller ’86
Lisa spent 34 years as a U.S. diplomat, with postings across China, Asia, and beyond. Since retiring, she now works on policy issues affecting the Foreign Service.
Why I’d hire a PiAer:

Christine is a media editor at Axios covering the business of news, entertainment, and technology. She previously spent nearly a decade at CNBC, including as deputy Asia-Pacific editor based in Singapore.

Dylan began his PiA fellowship supporting youth journalism and community initiatives in Indonesia before helping launch an NGO office in Timor-Leste. He went on to work across international development with organizations including UNDP and GIZ before joining EdTech startup Orijin, where he scaled the company from an early-stage team to national reach.
Why I’d hire a PiAer:
A PiAer knows how to step into unfamiliar environments, take on real responsibility, and figure things out. That kind of adaptability is exactly what I look for.
