Christy Lane built her career at the intersection of science and insurance: she co-founded Stanford's Wearable Health Lab, then started Vivametrica while on maternity leave to turn research on activity and health into underwriting models still used by life insurers today, and later left a tenured professorship after 17 years to build fertility insurance products from the ground up. That path, rooted in women's health since the late 1990s and hands-on work designing new underwriting and actuarial models, gives her a rare technical depth in insurance mechanics that now shapes how she supports IA Capital's portfolio companies in data products and the life insurance space.
