Colleagues describe her as "Jessica is an exceptionally skilled QA Manager, and QA Engineer. In the years that Jessica reported to me as a QA Manager she continually exemplified the highest qualities that anyone could ask for. She is an outstanding leader, who understands the importance of quality, and the work necessary to achieve quality. She constantly worked to improve her own skills, and the skills of those that reported to her. She didn’t shy away from opportunities to learn, and confidently led automation and performance efforts. When necessary, she quickly moved from Manager to Engineer to ensure the team delivered on commitments and met deadlines. During her time as a QA Manager the customer reported issue count reduced by 50%, in part due to her leadership and push for quality best practices, and improved automation. When Jessica felt she had learned what she could as a QA Manager, she decided to broaden her horizons and took a role as Director of Product Management where she worked on roadmaps and led efforts to deliver special projects and content deliverables. She quickly adapted to her new role and began contributing to the success of the Product team. Her willingness to tackle new things is something that sets Jessica apart. She quickly learns what she must be successful, then helps her team to succeed. It was a great pleasure to work with Jessica, and I would highly recommend her! " and "Jessica has worked for me as a Senior Engineer and Team Lead for most of the past 8 years at Configuresoft, EMC, and VMware. She is a rock star—one of the top performers in my group every year. Over the last several years, Jessica has also led efforts to automate the end-to-end testing on one of VMware’s most profitable software products. She is a great communicator, well organized, enthusiastic, and a positive influence on everyone she works with.
