Most quality leaders can talk tooling. I can talk to what delivery risk looks like from inside a $580M acquisition — and what a board or investor actually wants to hear about it.
With 25+ years in technology and 22+ years of professional experience, I bring deep expertise in Enterprise Technology, Quality Engineering, and delivery risk management across SaaS, SAP, and global enterprise programs. I help engineering and product leaders build quality governance that holds up under real pressure — not just sprint reviews.
As Head of Quality Engineering at a US-based SaaS company, I built and led a 25+ member QA organization across a US–India delivery model, held platform uptime at 99.9% through automation-first quality engineering, and strengthened release predictability through the company's $580M acquisition.
I later led Quality Engineering oversight for a Big 4 consulting firm's $4M+ global program, managing distributed QA teams of 30+ across Southeast Asia.
