What I'm looking for

I’m looking to take my program delivery experience into a Senior Program Manager role in consulting.

At Mercedes-Benz Group / MBition GmbH, I lead delivery of a company-wide test automation platform used by 24 domains and 200+ developers. Standardized automation more than doubled testing efficiency and supported more reliable, transparent releases.

At Capgemini Engineering (Altran), I was the central delivery lead for 12+ concurrent Volkswagen automotive software and testing projects, reporting directly to the customer’s CTO. Earlier, I contributed to a global software transformation project for gas turbine test execution at Brunel, and I’m PMP®-certified with experience in SAFe, Scrum, and ISTQB test management.
