Hello, I'm
QA Manager ยท Head of QA
๐ Amsterdam, Netherlands
Experienced quality leader with 15 years in QA, specializing in building QA teams and processes from scratch. Translator turned technologist โ with the precision of language and the rigor of engineering.
I'm energized by first-of-their-kind projects - the ones where there's no playbook yet.
I don't just follow processes โ I evolve them. When I see a gap, I move from execution to solution design, applying deep critical thinking to every challenge I take on.
Shifting priorities, rapid change, undefined parameters? That's Tuesday. I stay focused and effective when things get ambiguous, because clarity is something you create, not something you wait for.
I act as a trusted advisor to stakeholders โ building confidence through advocacy, persuasive communication, and consistently delivering on what I commit to.
Risk isn't something I react to โ I navigate it proactively. I identify downstream impacts early and architect solutions that protect the integrity of the project before problems surface.
I've mastered the art of remote collaboration. I value deep work and asynchronous communication, and I've built teams that thrive in distributed environments.
I give and receive direct, data-driven feedback โ even when it's uncomfortable. Because that's how teams get better.
