Meet the senior team
Typically, when you think of a software development company, a huge conglomerate comes to mind rather than familiar faces of those behind the scenes
While QiSOFT is an international company with offices in the UK, mainland Europe and the US, we remain a family owned company that will always place personal service as the cornerstone of all that we do.
Our experienced and passionate management team are dedicated to making QiSOFT a great place to work. They love working with customers and with all the members of the QiSOFT team across the world. They're supported by an engaged Board of Directors and an amazing team of developers, customer service professionals and administrators.
Kelly began her career working at several large Blue Chip companies including Reebok, Burton’s Foods,
Freudenberg Household Products (Vileda) and PZ Cussons. Having close involvement with both the R&D teams and the manufacturing plant, her experience has given her an in-depth understanding of the manufacturing process as well as enabling her to develop a strong commercial and strategic business focus.
Today Kelly has responsibility for managing QiSOFT Americas and for the strategic sales and marketing development of QiSOFT’s products worldwide.
Favorite figure from history: Queen Elizabeth I – fearless, tough, dedicated and true to her people.
Kevin is the Founder and still active CEO of QiSOFT worldwide. Starting his young career as an electrical engineer, he soon developed a passion for programming and a desire to bring the use of statistics in quality management to the masses. In 1986 QIS was born and Kevin has been instrumental in its direction and development ever since. He maintains his passion for quality and for bringing a product to the manufacturing floor that is both operator and senior management friendly. These days Kevin operates in more of a consulting and training role so chances are you will one day benefit from his great knowledge and passion for all things QIS!
His favorite quote: I can easily get used to the very best. Winston Churchill.
To see more of both his and QiSOFTs history watch this video here:
Sam, just like his father, developed a passion for programming whilst working in a different career. With both this passion and his technical ability evident he was persuaded to join the family business where he became a specialist in the User Interface (UI) and a whizz at designing and building web based solutions.
Now the fully hands-on Operations Director of QiSOFT UK & Europe, Sam revels in learning new manufacturing processes and highlighting the benefits QIS can offer to businesses globally.
Colin was the first QiSOFT employee, hired to develop QIS and MQM software. Having been with the company since QIS’s early conception you could say Colin knows a thing or two about the product.
Long before he met Kevin, during his academic life (where he excelled in mathematics, physics and computer studies), his love for gadgets and all things computer-related was fully formed.
Today Colin continues to support QiSOFT’s customer base and helps to keep QIS at the forefront of manufacturing quality systems technology.
Although now the European Sales Director for QiSOFT, Graeme is no stranger to the factory floor. A degree in Manufacturing Operations led to early employment in the textile industry before the bright lights of sales and marketing seduced him into a long and successful career in both IT consultancy and Software sales.
Graeme is responsible for sharing the benefits of QIS with new customers and supports our existing client base across the UK and Europe and sometimes beyond!

Mike has been working with QIS for over 10 years on both the software and manufacturing side. With in-depth knowledge and experience from working with QiSOFT and also as a user within the manufacturing sector, Mike brings a well-rounded and truly unique perspective to our team.

Having started her career working in mental health for the NHS, in 2010 a decision to move closer to family ultimately led her to QiSOFT UK. Having been with the company for over 5 years, Cathy is responsible for managing the UK Operations. A job (she claims!) is made easier by the great staff we have there.
A true believer in the adage “a company’s employees are its greatest asset” it is Cathy's responsibility to ensure that we not only deliver but exceed customers expectations.
