Bio
Marc Woodward
I worked with Geraldine at Suncorp as a QA lead for over 18 months in the content apps team. The team was responsible for managing Suncorps CMS products with a focus on AEM (Adobe Experience Manager). A found Geraldine to be very dedicated to her tasks, highly analytical in reviewing requirements and ensuring quality was embedded in everything she worked on. This was amplified by having active relationships with stakeholders. Geraldine was competent in speaking up and challenging the status quo of ways of working and internal processes to ensure the team was working at optimal performance. Geraldine demonstrated an excellent understanding of agile practices and assisted in ensuring these practices were educated and followed within the team. She also adapted to operating in a complex team environment where the CMS had multi brands with many stakeholders to manage and engage with. As a senior QA, I as well as the leadership team would often consult about planning decisions and feedback. Geraldine was a mentor for many of the junior QA team members and would invest time into up-skilling the team and herself. Geraldine is a highly capable and reliable QA making her a highly recommended candidate
