Christian Johan Smith is the President and co-founder of TrackR, ranked #45 on the Inc. 500 list of fastest growing private companies in the US in 2017. TrackR’s goal is to end the daily search for lost or misplaced items. Since its inception in 2009, TrackR rapidly grew from a simple app to track keys into a global operation, raising $61 million in capital and shipping over nine million devices worldwide.

The widespread usage enables TrackR’s Crowd Locate network, a global finding community, and helps locate over two million items every day. TrackR is distributed in Target, Bed Bath and Beyond, and other retailers around the globe. Leading brands such as Amazon, HP, and Cross Pens also integrate TrackR’s finding technology into their products.

Coupling an engineering background with a preternatural set of entrepreneurial skills allows Christian to synthesize technical challenges and business goals while aligning the interests of consumers, investors, and partners. In 2017, Christian was awarded Ernst & Young’s Entrepreneur of The Year. When not creating the future at TrackR, you can find him exploring the California coastline sailing, surfing, or diving.

We aim to provide a team of mentors of the girls in our program. With this model, there are two kinds of mentors:

1. Mentor Team Member- This mentor is a part of a team and will provide specific support to the mentee based on her area of need. This role can be virtual and the commitment can be 1 or 2 years with the expectation of a monthly check-in with the mentee. This mentor's experience aligns with the mentee's career interests and will help her in specific phases of her career path. For example, they may walk her through the college application process, help her look for a job or internship, or assist her in gaining access to resources like scholarships, fellowship programs, or government assistance. This mentor might also help her gain specific skills such as networking, public speaking, interviewing, financial acumen, entrepreneurship, self-motivation, etc.

2. Mentor Team Lead- This mentor will be based in Dallas and commit to 1-2 years with their mentee leading her team of mentors. This high-level commitment includes coordinating with Nomi Network staff and the multi-disciplinary team prior to the girl's discharge from the Dallas County Juvenile System. They will be a part of her re-entry plan and treatment, and build face-to-face rapport. The mentor team lead will set up monthly or bi-monthly meeting with the mentor team to assign roles and projects to the other mentors based on the mentee's needs. Nomi Network's Mentor Coordinator will support each mentor team lead throughout the 2 year process.
