Colleagues describe her as "Jane has served as a director of Harding, Loevner Funds, Inc., a $3B US mutual fund complex, since its inception in 1996. In recognition of her wide-ranging expertise in mutual fund governance, including investment and regulatory aspects, and her superb leadership skills, the non-interested board members elected Jane as Lead Director in 2008. She is an excellent communicator, highly diligent, uncompromising on matters of principle, diplomatic, and generous with her time, and works to foster these qualities in the board as a whole. We are very fortunate to enjoy her leadership. She has my wholehearted recommendation for any board or similar senior leadership role." and "I worked for Jane at Scientific Learning for four years. Of all the CFOs that I have worked for, she is most focused on managing the business as well as the more typical governance and reporting activities. She has the intellectual capacity to understand and analyze the key operational and financial issues on both a strategic and tactical level and continually challenges her staff to do the same. Despite not coming from an accounting background, I was impressed at how she quickly came up to speed on complex software revenue recognition and other accounting concepts and was able to lead the charge on the adoption of FAS 123(R) and SOX. I would be very happy to work for Jane again."
