Lane Merrifield is co-founder and CEO of FreshGrade. He was also co-founder of Club Penguin and former executive vice president of Disney Online Studios.

As co-founder of Club Penguin, Lane played an integral role in its phenomenal growth and continued success as one of the largest digital brands for children. This success led to a partnership with the Walt Disney Company, which acquired Club Penguin for $350M in August 2007.

Lane has since left his role at Disney to return to his entrepreneurial roots. Inspired to focus on the challenges facing teachers in the 21st century classroom, Lane co-founded FreshGrade.
