Executive Leadership
The eBodyGuard Team: Pioneers in Personal Safety Technology
Melissa Faith Hart, Founder & CEO
Melissa Faith Hart is the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of eBodyGuard. She created the eBodyGuard personal safety, evidence, and wellness technology with its eBodyGuard Safety Card and eBodyCam, which are available in the App Store and Google Play. These are key components of the vendor-agnostic eBodyGuard Smart Discovery Platform, which integrates discovery both within and outside of criminal justice IT systems. Her 20 years of experience working with law enforcement and District Attorneys led to the nation’s first criminal eDiscovery system.
Melissa spent 17 years in corporate America, mostly with Xerox. She later served on the Pink Tax on Mobility initiative, sponsored by New York University, investigating why women pay more for transportation than men. She is working with NREL (National Renewable Energy Laboratory) to improve the efficiency and passenger safety of transit systems.
Using her Six Sigma Business process certifications as a core principle for solving business problems, Melissa focused deeply on understanding the criminal justice system. She brought in experts from Xerox PARC (Palo Alto Research Center) to help improve this very burdened and siloed process. She later became the executive director of the program supporting the automation of criminal discovery, integrating 363 law enforcement agencies to expedite evidence passing within 72 hours.
Melissa believes personal safety is a primal right, and has invested decades in learning the cultures and the technologies of these systems. Melissa is currently pursuing a Master of Science degree in criminology at Regis University to advance evidence-based, technology-driven reform in public safety and criminal justice systems. She remains determined to help transform systems to better support our communities.
