Staff Highlight
Lindsey Lane
DIRECTOR OF U.S. PROGRAMS
Prior to joining HTI, Lindsey served as a state prosecutor and Special Assistant United States Attorney in East Tennessee and as a designated human trafficking prosecutor in the State of North Carolina. Lindsey handled numerous trafficking-related cases and worked with many victims during her time as a prosecutor. She helped establish North Carolina’s first alternative court for trafficking victims in 2019. Lindsey now shares this invaluable knowledge and experience to empower others to stop traffickers and protect victims through her work at HTI.
“While serving as a prosecutor, I often felt like I was only making a small dent in the massive problem of trafficking. I joined HTI because I realized that I could create meaningful and lasting impact beyond the courtroom by sharing the knowledge and experience I have with others.”
Gabby Massey
COUNTRY DIRECTOR, UGANDA
Gabrielle (Gabby) Massey has been working in criminal law for 20 years, specializing in human trafficking, sexually violent crimes against women and children and intimate partner violence. Prior to joining HTI, Gabby was a state prosecutor in the major crimes division of the Texas Attorney General’s office, and before that she was a felony prosecutor with the McLennan County District Attorney’s office in Waco, Texas. Gabby has been a trainer on Human Trafficking and child exploitation for the past 10 years and has trained across the United States, as well as internationally.
“Teaching and mentoring are the best ways to share the knowledge I have gained in my career, and there is no other organization globally doing what HTI is doing with our embedded expert model and partnering with international governments to educate, train, and mentor the police and prosecutors in these countries.”
Nathan Whiteman
LAW ENFORCEMENT ADVISOR
After 20 years with the FBI investigating human trafficking and child exploitation, I’ve seen how easily these crimes can be missed—even by well-trained officers. I joined HTI to help change that. At the end of our trainings, I ask participants to reflect on their careers and consider if they’ve overlooked a trafficking case. Almost every time, someone says, “My gosh, yes.” That moment—when the blinders come off—is why I do this work.
Throughout their careers, the enforcement experts who were on our team in 2024 had extensive experience in Human Trafficking, Child Exploitation, and Internet Crimes Against Children cases.
