As a QA leader, my area of expertise is delivering on high expectations for software excellence from the very first release.Throughout my QA career at Fortune 500 and SMB companies in multiple industries, I have always been best known for three key contributions:– Transforming software development with an agile model;– Developing high-performance teams with technical and communication skills;– Fostering a workplace culture where everyone is valued and encouraged to perform at their best.In brief, I provide the leadership that replaces conflict and confusion with collaboration and clarity. Even in a world of self-directed teams and automated testing, support and guidance are critical to making QA an engine for business success. My experience includes managing multimillion-dollar budgets and globally dispersed teams with as many as 140 in-house and outsourced members. I’ve worked effectively across borders and cultures to unify QA teams behind best practices and processes. Whether at a large corporation such as ADP or Wachovia / Wells Fargo or smaller technology, healthcare, and financial services firms, my legacy has centered on always elevating the value of QA’s contributions.SPECIALTIESQuality Assurance – Configuration Management – Standards Implementation – Project Management – Testing – Application Lifecycle Management – Technical Team Management & Development – Strategic Planning – Defect Detection & Correction – Agile Methodology – Test Driven Development & Design – Audits
