The people behind ZeroBlue
Founders don’t build platforms alone.
“Good curriculum isn’t about coverage. It’s about what actually changes how someone thinks or works.”
Eden Lord brings more than 20 years of curriculum development and online education experience, spanning higher education and specialized adult learning.
For over a decade, she was adjunct faculty and curriculum developer in online higher education, designing courses for adult learners who needed practical, outcome-focused education.
Alongside her work in higher education, she spent 13 years running a consulting practice building patient education and curriculum for pharmaceutical and rare disease organizations. That work required translating complex scientific content for patients, families, and clinicians navigating high-stakes decisions — training that shaped her conviction that curriculum design is about transformation, not coverage.
In 2024, she began consulting on AI implementation and recognized the same pattern she had seen in healthcare: a powerful, complex technology being deployed faster than the people expected to use it could understand it. Teachers were being asked to navigate AI in their classrooms with no training. Students were using tools nobody had taught them to evaluate. Districts were writing policies about systems most of their leadership didn’t understand.
She founded ZeroBlue in 2025 to close that gap.

“Decisions get made at the top, but real impact happens when young voices drive the conversation.”
Landrey Lord leads ZeroBlue’s district outreach, connecting educators and district leaders to the policies, funding pathways, and tools that make AI literacy programs work in practice.
A junior at North Carolina State University pursuing a bachelor’s in economics at the Poole College of Management (graduating 2027), Landrey has built her understanding of public policy from the inside. She represented North Carolina as a Girls State ALA Tarheel participant and award winner, served as a Governor’s Page, and sat on the Governor’s GenZ Policy Committee — advising on issues from education equity to emerging technology.
At Poole, she is a Packonomics Career Panel Committee Member, a recipient of the Class of 2024 Graduating Class Scholarship, and a Peer Leader mentoring incoming students.
Those experiences shaped her core conviction: if we’re teaching kids to navigate AI, we start by listening to the next generation.
At ZeroBlue, she channels that belief into district outreach — ensuring AI literacy reaches the students, educators, and communities who most need it.
