About me

I have over 15 years of managing high performing teams with a proven track record in delivering quality software to the market place.  Having implemented agile software development in the automotive, medical, and financial industries as a QA Director has steered me to walk the fine balance of agility and compliance (SPICE, FDA, SAS-570. SOX).

I have participated or lead large scale agile transformations. I specialize in life after the agile transformation, driving long term sustainability and efficiency of releasing software. Working collaboratively with Product Management, Research and Development, and Quality Management to build and refine the necessary processes and practices to support meeting release and corporate objectives.

He will also contribute to this blog.
