founder/ceo
bio
For over 20 years Stacy Kirk has steadfastly advocated for, and facilitated quality and process innovation in software development, ensuring the delivery of progressive web, mobile, and enterprise applications. Her experience encompasses diverse industries which include entertainment, security, and healthcare; and she has worked with such companies as AT & T, Ericsson, NBCUniversal, Symantec, FedEx, and Fandango. In addition to holding a degree in Computer Science from Stanford University, Stacy’s ability to recognize opportunities, and boldly shoulder the inherent risks associated with capitalizing on them, speaks to her brand of entrepreneurship characterized by keen insight, daring, and excellence. In 2010, Stacy founded QualityWorks Consulting Group, a global leader in software quality innovation and delivery, based in Los Angeles, California. In 2015, she expanded her field of influence by expanding offices to Kingston, Jamaica to service clients in the United States, the UK, and the Caribbean. She leads a 35+ and growing team of brilliant technologists and innovators representing diverse backgrounds, including over 52% women of color.
Her company’s quick success is rooted in differentiating themselves as more than just consultants who write and test code. Her team’s unique value is coaching with a focus on capacity building and enabling teams to improve their process and software delivery. This has resulted in solutions that have saved their clients thousands of dollars and inevitably decreased their time to market. Their latest product, Posture, helps enterprises drive compliance regardless of their level of in-house knowledge.
