What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a leadership role where I can own enterprise QA strategy and release readiness, partner cross-functionally, and scale high-performing global teams while driving measurable outcomes through automation, governance, and defect root-cause improvements.

I’m a Quality Assurance and Program Leader with 15+ years of progressive experience spanning QA leadership, technical program management, systems analysis, and enterprise delivery. I build and scale global QA organizations, define enterprise-wide test strategies, and lead complex initiatives across applications to drive measurable quality outcomes.

In my most recent role as Director of Quality Assurance – IT, I created a net-new enterprise QA organization, implemented TestRail and Jira as the enterprise test management platform, and standardized defect workflows to improve test visibility and release readiness. I also lead hands-on testing across functional, nonfunctional, automated, performance, volume, and stress testing—using tools and platforms like UiPath, Provar, RSAT, QuerySurge, HP ALM/QTP, SAP, Oracle, Salesforce, MS Dynamics 365, and ServiceNow—while partnering across IT leadership, development, product, and architecture to ensure end-to-end quality.
