About

Experienced Quality Leader in eCommerce and Enterprise Applications. I have over 20 years of management experience, the bulk of it at the Senior Director level. I've managed software engineers my whole career, primarily focused on Quality, Automation, and DevOps.

Starting the Automation discipline in your org? Building a quality (test) team from scratch. THE person responsible for quality in your org with no direct reports? I got you.

Influencing people who don't work for you? That's how I found myself advancing through the levels into management. Let's talk how to humbly work alongside those who may seem reluctant.

Talk to me about how I justify budget for brand new headcount in brand new roles and how I protected Automation Engineers from being co-opted into working on features.

Need help diversifying your team? I've been focused on this for years, successfully building and nurturing the most diverse teams in our division.

Want to become a people manager? I'll drill into your motivations and give you brutal honesty on whether I think you're capable now or have things to work on.

Not sure how to approach performance management aka writing and presenting yearly reviews, sometimes with poor ratings? Let's talk through it - I've been on both sides of that pendulum with under performers and the smartest person in the room.

Tasked with helping the entire org responsibly use test tools and respect the boundaries of what is possible to maintain over time?

I'm on here because I genuinely love to help people figure out how to work well as a team. To build the team that everyone wants to work with and/or be on. Let's chat through an Introductory Call - No commitment needed and you'll take away a couple insights.

Heather is super helpful, she is very patient to hear my struggles and gives direct and constructive feedback. She really cares about the mentee and I learned a lot from her! I am an engineering manager need second thoughts on some of my decisions. And Heather gave me lots of awesome advice.

I was seeking some guidance for my software testing company on how to justify budget, expand my operations, and learn from her past experience in the space. She exceeded my expectations and was able to quickly understand my position, provide multiple points of feedback, and explain her opinion/experience in a thoughtful and constructive manner. Truly a joy to chat with and would recommend to anyone who needs to chat with someone who has a great gut instinct.
