My name is Veronica Garcia and I’m a powerhouse in software engineering, agile leadership, and organizational development. With 15+ years of professional experience in banking, e-commerce, travel, I have been able to grow and solve problems through the development of software products, while increasing market share in competitive markets. I am admired for my ability to engage people, and keep projects on track.Among notable career accomplishments, I’m proud to be part of the leadership team at Tourlane responsible for the organizational and operational development of the engineering team. Through thoughtful leadership, I already grew multiple organizations from 20 employees to 100+ employees with sustainable impact, on the gross revenue. I believe that when leading teams the most important success factor is to be a respectful leader, a professional sparring partner, and overall a colleague with trust in my fellows – thereby building a team that outperforms. Along my journey into leadership, it is my courage and curiosity that has helped me make decisions, learn environmental and situational leadership styles, and recognize the talents in others that can make teams better. In an industry that can often be considered intimidating to women, it is my goal to change this perspective and encourage others. It is my international background in Latin America and Switzerland that has helped me procure a deep understanding of diversity, respectful interaction, and a holistic view of the work at hand.My areas of expertise include: • Software engineering and architecture• System architecture• Quality Management• Agile Methodology• Change Management• Process Improvement• Leadership development and organizational growth• Complex problem solving and strategic thinking
