Christine Schindler
Christine Schindler is the co-founder and CEO of PathSpot, the maker of the HandScanner - a device that mounts beside a kitchen sink, scans a worker's just-washed hands with light, and flags invisible contamination in seconds. A Duke-trained biomedical engineer who first built low-cost medical tools near Mount Kilimanjaro, she prototyped PathSpot's algorithms in her apartment bathroom, sold her car to fund it, and grew the company into a food-safety operating system used across the restaurant industry. She is a Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree, a Time Best Invention recognizee, and the founder of the nonprofit Girls Engineering Change.
