Benn Lim works within the philosophy that money is like water, it should be encouraged to flow, returning a profit in order to build businesses that do good in the world, both for people and the planet.

As the Chief Operating and Impact Officer, Benn has led Arowana to become a B Corporation, using the sustainability framework as a system of behavioral change and continuous improvement to guide their global operating companies and investments in electric vehicles, renewable energy, vocational and professional education, technology and software, venture capital, and impact asset management. 

Benn is passionate about creating positive change in the world, building strong communities, and fostering future generations with solid foundations upon which they can flourish. In his personal time, Benn enjoys reconnecting with nature by taking bush walks whilst practicing mindfulness.
