What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead quality transformation across Agile teams, improving release quality, test automation, compliance, and delivery transparency.

At Omnicom Global Solutions, I lead end-to-end QA strategy across Agile projects, improving release quality and reducing post-production defects by 24%.

I've accelerated release cycles by three days, improved defect detection efficiency by 18%, and reduced regression cycle time by 25% through daily test automation for four brands. I also lead stakeholder communication, client demos, sprint reviews, and an internal initiative to bring AI-driven agents into QA workflows.

Previously, I built QMS and QA standards for pharma deliverables at Medtrix, maintaining zero market rejects and 100% regulatory compliance. Across Tech Mahindra, Indegene, and digital platforms, I've led teams of 30+ and strengthened testing, SOPs, ISO implementation, and release readiness.
