Kristina Menton — COO and Head of Flight, Pivotal

Immediately after graduating from the Department of Mechanical & Industrial Engineering, Kristina Menton was recruited by what would become Pivotal, a company that is changing the face of aviation. Today, she is the company’s Chief Operating Officer and Head of Flight, leading the development of new kinds of personal aircraft, such as the BlackFly and the Helix. She has also stayed involved with U of T Engineering, most recently as a guest lecturer. Dean Yip spoke with her about the future of flight, and about her advice for current students.
