At Virgin Atlantic, I lead test delivery of the overall strategy across the portfolio, providing production release approvals and recommendations for improvement. I am the subject matter expert overseeing multiple software implementation and UAT project teams and test suppliers for quality and on-time, on-budget delivery.

I also assess effectiveness and completeness of testing, able to clearly communicate technical outcomes and risk exposure to senior management.
