Christopher Meunier is founder, president and lead consultant (CQO) at Qaleti, LLC.
The single innate goal is for wonderfully human experienced and defect-free software products contributed by technology, marketing, sales, operations, support teams. This goal is met because quality practices are applied successfully through iterative and systematic means leading to scalable quality implementation and program management.
The integration throughout all production points and processes cumulates into an ever-changing, continuous improving successful product delivery.
Small durable shifts in process flow and product features lead to robust software delivery and use.
Qaleti provides key advisors to entrepreneurs, startups, small businesses, and senior management; current and former business owner providing software quality assurance consulting. Chris is the former Senior Director of Quality for a global software development firm that partners with businesses, ranging from Fortune 500 companies to technology start-ups, to build and evolve modern software products.
Qaleti will set the QA agenda that supports the actions of enablement for organizations – enterprises and startups – to meet strategic goals and project objectives covering all testing and quality assurance issues. It leads QA services in the areas of testing, process, assessment, training, and reporting, and provides direct business development and customer service support.
Chris sees software development and delivery through the lens of a modern quality management approach and strategy.
Chris’ lens has been honed by seasoned experience through modern quality management implementations across industries and markets, such as financial services, mortgage, insurance, education and professional development, agriculture, information security, distribution and logistics, and news and media. Integrations are supported by technologies and methodologies ranging from custom and off-the-shelf email, web, and mobile solutions to multi-site data center, SaaS, and cloud back-ends (including server-less architectures) and made possible through varied and combined development approaches from tradition-sequential phases to agile-iterative models.
From running a consulting business for startups to developing Agile QA practices with partner clients as Senior Director of Quality at Originate, Chris enjoys evolving quality practices from fighting fires to preventing them. He systematically checks into every project, and identifies, then works with the teams to address issues. Chris appreciates the self-organizing ability of teams to enable scaling high-quality and high-velocity product development that will be sustaining. Chris has built a very capable and highly innovative quality practice that leads the rest of an organization, as well as the industry, around processes and tools in quality management: planning, assurance, control, and improvements.
