Casey Templeton is the founder and CEO of Stacks, a DAM profesional services firm, and the creator of MQS (Metadata Quality Score), a structural governance scoring standard for digital asset metadata. After eight years of building custom assessment frameworks for enterprise DAM clients, Casey recognized the industry needed a shared, transparent measurement model. MQS is the result: nine signals, two dimensions, one published standard available to any organization or practitioner.

Shelley Meeks is a strategic product leader with over 25 years of experience delivering metadata-driven digital content solutions in enterprise environments. At Stacks, she leads operations and co-designed the MQS scoring model, translating real-world metadata governance challenges into the nine signals that drive the standard. Her background spans product roadmap ownership, taxonomy design, AI-powered tagging, and workflow automation across global organizations.

Rachael is a Global Product Owner in the Content Technology team at Mars Petcare, responsible for the DAM platform and its integrations, with a strong focus on adoption, optimization and stakeholder alignment.
