As CEO of Software Pricing Partners (SPP), the category creator for software pricing strategy, Chris Mele brings a unique lens on the easily misunderstood world of software pricing and capability valuation.
Chris and the team at SPP leverage innovative software and over four decades of expertise to help companies launch new products and implement pricing as an ongoing and defendable process that maximizes revenue and customer loyalty. A computer science graduate from Miami University, Chris began his career at Ernst & Young, where he helped Bank of America and Netscape launch the first online banking system in the U.S. He later led digital growth at Rare Medium for dotcom software companies before co-founding a SaaS company that that helped the construction industry maximize efficiencies across sales, marketing and operations.
Since 2014, Chris has led SPP in guiding software companies of all sizes with their monetization strategies. Now, he’s back in the founder’s seat with LevelSetter®, SPP’s new AI-powered SaaS platform. LevelSetter is the first continuous B2B monetization engine that helps teams simulate, test, and refine pricing models—eliminating guesswork and enabling scalable, data-driven decisions.
Powered by AI, and perfected by people, LevelSetter turns pricing into a strategic advantage.
