Meet the Team

Two complementary vantage points. One elevated transition experience.

Todd and Kristie combine the employer’s lens with the accelerator’s playbook. Todd brings decades of corporate leadership and deep insight from hiring and developing more than 200 early‑career professionals. Kristie brings firsthand experience advancing quickly in corporate.

Together, they offer a rare dual perspective, what employers value and what truly drives early momentum, giving students a clear, trusted path into the corporate world.

Todd Lane

Todd brings a twenty-five year career in corporate with the unique position of directly hiring and leading over 200 early career individuals. Having sat in the hiring seat and seeing what sets early career talent apart, Todd knows the difference between a student who is qualified and one who is career-ready. Todd knows what employers want to see on a resume, he knows how to stand out in an interview, and he knows what it takes to get on the fast track once you land the job. He has seen it all as he has spent his career in corporate with early career talent. Todd helps students maximize their time in college to ensure they have a resume that resonates with hiring managers, and he then knows how to ensure they are interview and job-ready.
