+ Minimum of twelve (12) years of experience in quality engineering, software testing, test automation, platform engineering, enterprise technology delivery, or related technology disciplines, including 5+ years leading quality engineering, test automation, enterprise testing, or platform-oriented teams.

+ Demonstrated experience building or leading modern quality engineering capabilities beyond manual test execution, including automation strategy, risk-based testing, continuous testing, quality gates, and release assurance.

+ Strong experience with enterprise test automation and test management platforms, preferably Tricentis Tosca and qTest.

+ Experience leading testing or quality engineering across multiple products, platforms, business processes, programs, or business units.
