Signature initiative
Pascal Audio QA Transformation
Headed testing for Pascal Audio by defining the quality strategy, increasing portfolio visibility, mentoring the team, and keeping risk conversations grounded in real data.
Unified QA operating model
Stood up a repeatable test strategy that spans embedded DSP platforms and partner integrations, eliminating siloed plans across squads and giving engineers confidence in the change path.
Executive-level observability
Delivered clear status and risk reviews so stakeholders and executives could see portfolio progress without relying on ad-hoc updates, creating healthier conversations during release crunch.
Capability uplift
Mentored engineers and testers through structured coaching and pairing sessions so modern QA practices became part of day-to-day delivery and teammates felt supported taking on new responsibilities.
Pascal Audio brought me in to own testing across their software programmes. I created the test strategy, established clear coverage expectations, and worked directly with engineers to ensure we hit the quality bar without burning out the team.
To give sponsors confidence, I introduced consistent reporting and risk reviews that translated delivery signals into the language leadership needed for decisions, which made tough conversations calmer and more objective.
I also focussed on people. Mentoring sessions, hiring support, and structured coaching helped the team grow their QA capability while we scaled the work, and they knew my door was open when decisions felt messy.
