Our Board

Opt-Inspire’s Board of Directors consists of a multidisciplinary team of legal, tech, and community leaders driving Opt-Inspire’s mission to make digital safety more accessible, effective, and real-world ready for every generation.

Alexandria ("Lexi") Lutz, CIPP/US, CIPP/E, AIGP, FIP

Lexi is a General Counsel of Summize, a high-growth contract intelligence company. She specializes in the legal frameworks shaping emerging tech, holding credentials as a Fellow of Information Privacy (FIP), Certified AI Governance Professional (AIGP), and Certified Information Privacy Professional in the U.S. and Europe (CIPP/US, CIPP/E) from the IAPP. She founded Opt-Inspire after watching her own grandmother navigate the challenges of staying safe online. What began as a personal mission has grown into a nonprofit movement educating seniors, parents, and children on digital safety, scam prevention, and privacy awareness. Since its founding, Opt-Inspire has grown into exactly what Lexi hoped it could be: a volunteer-powered network delivering free, high-impact programming to communities most vulnerable to technology-driven threats.
