About Mike Kirby

I am a fan of large, transformative projects (remediation, acquisition integration, and/or new capability) and helping people grow and adapt to change.Most of my career has been centered around developing and managing software testing teams. But throughout each engagement I’ve worn many hats. A steady constant has been that of program management, overseeing the fulfillment of larger organizational goals. Below are just a handful of the transformative efforts I’ve successfully led with the support of great teams and partners.I recently led bank technology separation/merger integration preparedness and validation across all enterprise business lines, managing a direct and matrixed staff of 250+ personnel. • Implemented testing framework to confirm legal entity separation for hundreds of systems and reports. • Led requirements analysis and integration validation for Commercial and Risk business solutions to ensure a clean customer migration. • Accelerated a thorough production migration of historical statement and report images to enable timely support of migrated customers and business linesI led transformation of development and testing organizations toward agile and automated solutions to improve quality and speed of software delivery. • Effectively produced proposals and reports to sponsors, partners, and senior management. • Developed, implemented, and managed roadmaps, testing best practices, processes, workflows, tools, accelerators, and actionable metrics. • Provided automation delivery using industry-leading tools and solutions. • Built optimized teams of 150+ to close test coverage and compliance gaps, leveraging offshore and nearshore teams to reduce operational costs.I seek senior-level roles that bridge business, operations, and technology organizations. In those roles, I gain a greater appreciation for the business needs and end-to-end ecosystem while leveraging my skills and experience to enable solution delivery. No project is too big nor too small, but I find having the visibility / influence across larger initiatives to be more fulfilling for my growth.I seek continuous feedback from others and educate myself to evolve into a better person, listener, mentor, leader.
