It demands not only deep technical expertise, but also a global business mindset, a drive for continuous innovation, and an ability to influence change across complex organizations.<\/p>\n<p id=\"ember53\" class=\"ember-view reader-text-block__paragraph\">Recently, during a podcast and a candid conversation with a fellow leader, I was asked a series of questions about my path to QA leadership. Reflecting on my work\u2014spanning Syntel, HCL, Hewlett-Packard (where I led multi-national projects for DirecTV, Ashok Leyland, P&amp;G, GM, Telstra, Cadbury, WestJet Airlines, and DHL), ITOrizon, and now as CEO at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qeagle.com\/\">Qeagle<\/a>\u2014I realized that sharing my perspective could be invaluable for those aspiring to senior QA roles.<\/p>\n<p id=\"ember54\" class=\"ember-view reader-text-block__paragraph\">Below, I answer these questions in detail, blending principles with stories from my own leadership journey. I hope this inspires you to chart your own impactful path in quality engineering.<\/p>\n<div class=\"reader-image-block reader-image-block--full-width\">\n<figure class=\"reader-image-block__figure\">\n<div class=\"ivm-image-view-model reader-image-block__img-container\">\n<div class=\"ivm-view-attr__img-wrapper \"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"ember55\" class=\"ivm-view-attr__img--centered reader-image-block__img evi-image lazy-image ember-view\" src=\"https:\/\/media.licdn.com\/dms\/image\/v2\/D5612AQGwJaapuqYt3w\/article-inline_image-shrink_400_744\/B56ZiZCBKQG4AY-\/0\/1754914100642?e=1760572800&amp;v=beta&amp;t=2d6s3fJmWI7NhntkGw0zNniBMBd8VQ3DW1V9Jwsrd9A\" alt=\"Article content\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"reader-image-block__figure-image-caption display-block full-width text-body-small-open t-sans text-align-center t-black--light\"><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<h3 id=\"ember56\" class=\"ember-view reader-text-block__paragraph\"><strong>Q1: How do you move from a QA Manager to a Head of QA?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p id=\"ember57\" class=\"ember-view reader-text-block__paragraph\">In my experience, especially at Hewlett-Packard and later at Qeagle, this move required evolving from operational oversight to defining and driving the entire organization&#8217;s quality strategy. I shifted from coordinating test cycles to aligning quality with business goals, influencing architecture, and embedding quality in every release pipeline. Whether supporting DirecTV&#8217;s complex systems or scaling automation for Procter &amp; Gamble, my focus was always on creating frameworks and cultures for continuous delivery at scale.<\/p>\n<div class=\"reader-image-block reader-image-block--full-width\">\n<figure class=\"reader-image-block__figure\">\n<div class=\"ivm-image-view-model reader-image-block__img-container\">\n<div><strong>Popular Articles<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.testleaf.com\/blog\/top-25-api-automation-engineer-interview-questionsin-2025-with-answers\/\">api testing interview questions<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"ivm-view-attr__img-wrapper \"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"ember58\" class=\"ivm-view-attr__img--centered reader-image-block__img evi-image lazy-image ember-view\" src=\"https:\/\/media.licdn.com\/dms\/image\/v2\/D5612AQHzFyDqU2-MZg\/article-inline_image-shrink_400_744\/B56ZiZCBKLHQAY-\/0\/1754914100599?e=1760572800&amp;v=beta&amp;t=dau7my5zfRtvBKLlbsYvDOU1wgq2zUrtMF_7ypqvEUs\" alt=\"Article content\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"reader-image-block__figure-image-caption display-block full-width text-body-small-open t-sans text-align-center t-black--light\"><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<h3 id=\"ember59\" class=\"ember-view reader-text-block__paragraph\"><strong>Q2: What core skills differentiate a Head of QA from other QA roles?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p id=\"ember60\" class=\"ember-view reader-text-block__paragraph\">My years at Syntel and HP taught me three essentials:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Strategic Vision:<\/strong>At Cadbury, this meant aligning test automation initiatives with global rollouts and market launches.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Cross-functional Leadership:<\/strong>Bridging QA, dev, and product at organizations like GM and Telstra, where success depended on orchestrating distributed teams.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Change Management:<\/strong>Implementing process and tech transformation (DevOps, AI, shift-left) at WestJet Airlines and Ashok Leyland, I learned to champion early adopters and empower technical leads across squads.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"reader-image-block reader-image-block--full-width\">\n<figure class=\"reader-image-block__figure\">\n<div class=\"ivm-image-view-model reader-image-block__img-container\">\n<div class=\"ivm-view-attr__img-wrapper \"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"ember64\" class=\"ivm-view-attr__img--centered reader-image-block__img evi-image lazy-image ember-view\" src=\"https:\/\/media.licdn.com\/dms\/image\/v2\/D5612AQGVBsfGSvfiPw\/article-inline_image-shrink_1500_2232\/B56ZiZCBK7G4AY-\/0\/1754914100723?e=1760572800&amp;v=beta&amp;t=37XRxOjG9WiSE_cCbHzDEEahXKOlhGw1kU5mNXl-pAg\" alt=\"Article content\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"reader-image-block__figure-image-caption display-block full-width text-body-small-open t-sans text-align-center t-black--light\"><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<h3 id=\"ember65\" class=\"ember-view reader-text-block__paragraph\"><strong>Q3: Is mastering every area\u2014security, performance, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.testleaf.com\/blog\/what-is-accessibility-testing-a-comprehensive-guide\/\">accessibility<\/a>\u2014realistic for a Head of QA?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p id=\"ember66\" class=\"ember-view reader-text-block__paragraph\">Not at all.
