About Us

Kit Chaskin
Co-Founder & CEO
After practicing insurance law for 28 years and leading Reed Smith’s Global Women’s Initiative Network for eight years, Kit is devoting herself to sharing what she has learned through the products and services provided by Third to First. These innovative solutions are the result of Kit's data-driven approach to adjusting well-worn systems within an organization. This approach rigorously examines policies through the lens of workplace equity and safety. It is a key component to understanding our stubborn failure to attract and retain a fair, productive and balanced workforce. The return on investment of this pragmatic, confidential work is demonstrably superior to old, expensive, ineffective approaches.
As CEO for Third to First, Kit provides clients with decades of legal experience and a data driven innovative product that ensures measurable outcomes for ending sexual harassment in the workplace.
