Meet Our Founder
Krys Barron
With over 15 years of experience in the bidding and tendering industry, Krys founded JQ IQ to help businesses navigate the complex world of competitive procurement with confidence and care.
Having witnessed firsthand the stress and burnout that poorly managed bidding processes can cause, Krys is passionate about creating sustainable, people-focused approaches to winning work.
Background
Before founding JQ IQ, Krys worked as an A&E nurse—where clear process under pressure isn't just helpful, it's lifesaving. This experience brings structure, calm, and clarity to every bidding challenge.
Approach
Clients say Krys is approachable, direct, and deeply invested in their success. Our approach combines practical expertise with genuine care for the people behind the bids.
Discretion and Confidence
Asking for help can be daunting, especially when it comes to sensitive commercial information. But don't worry, we've got you covered! We've implemented a fantastic two-way NDA to protect both of us. Trust us, we don't brag about who we help just to win more business. That's never worked out well for us and always left a sour taste in our mouths when we're networking and listening to sales pitches. Instead, we let our passion speak for itself.
Our Philosophy
We believe that winning more work shouldn't come at the cost of team wellbeing. Every solution we create is designed to be sustainable, repeatable, and kind to the people implementing it.
Our Promise
Clear guidance, practical tools, and the confidence to bid better without burning out your team.
