About Douglas Hook

I am a result driven Quality Engineering Leader passionate about creating amazing software products. I have over 20 years of Quality Engineering experience, with the last 8 having been spent managing global QE teams across multiple products, specializing in driving the best in class processes. I manage teams that support various product lines and SDLCs, but always keep them focused on maximizing team productivity. While being a highly self-motivated individual allows me to naturally pass that motivation onto my teams, it also helps me to successfully manage deliverables across multiple projects and products while maintaining high employee retention rates. I\'m also an eager learner of new technology and industry trends and am always looking to bring those ideas to my teams to help them reach their full potential.Specialties- Quality Engineering- QE Leadership- QE Test Strategy - Agile Methodologies- Automated Testing- Strategic Planning- Project Management- Hiring and Evaluation- Coaching and Mentoring- Budgeting- Reporting- Resource Allocation- Process Improvement- SaaS Cloud Applications
