Built by operators, for operators

Hi, I'm Chris Mannion. I've spent years helping fast‑growing companies navigate the complexity of headcount planning — from venture‑backed startups to PE‑backed enterprises.

After seeing too many teams struggle with spreadsheet chaos and misaligned stakeholders, I started Meander to provide the strategic clarity that headcount planning deserves. These services deliver the same outcomes we’re building into the app.
