  • Foster a culture of ownership, innovation, and continuous improvement.
  • Lead a specialized team responsible for executing a transformative, next-generation approach to test environment management.

  • Lead enterprise-wide automation initiatives using tools like Selenium, Tosca, UFT, or custom frameworks.
  • Oversee automation architecture, reusable asset libraries, and script governance.
  • Integrate automation into CI / CD pipelines using Jenkins, GitLab, or Azure DevOps.
  • Ensure robust environment governance, high availability, and seamless integration with CI / CD pipelines to enable agile delivery across telecom platforms.
