Christopher Nuneviller is a Founding Principal, President, and Chief Executive Officer of MNB Meridian Defense, Ltd. For more than 25 years Christopher has practiced both as an attorney and “an operator” in the securities, venture capital, corporate and emerging business sectors, as a contract-advisor to the federal government, a federal government senior level executive, and as Army Judge Advocate. Through that experience, Christopher has started, operationalized, directed, reorganized, and/or disestablished several businesses, federal agencies, and offices. Unfortunately, more than any attorney should, he became fluent in business process improvement, business analysis, and project management. That fluency came through significant experience with “above the fold” matters of great import, while gaining unhealthy insight into the internal workings of the “beltway” underbelly.

As an attorney, Mr. Nuneviller is admitted to practice in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and before the Supreme Court of the United States, the Court of Federal Claims, and the Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces. He is also credentialed as a Master Advocate by the National Institute of Trial Advocacy, and a Legal Project Practitioner and Legal Process Improvement Professional by the International Institute of Legal Project Management.
