• "Ingvar Kamprad once wrote “quality must never be an end in itself: it must be adjusted to the consumer’s needs”.

As test leader I coach development teams on quality strategy, test automation and monitoring strategies as well as coordinate synergies across teams to deliver seamless planning experiences to our customers worldwide."
