Bio
Jon Munson
Through thick and thin, Luke always shows dedication to success. He is a creative thinker, adapts to change seamlessly and is an excellent communicator. I’ve worked with him on a number of projects, and he smashes it every time. Alongside projects, Luke has single handedly maintained and grown a loyal global community of thousands of QA testers, and put our business in a solid position to punch above our weight. Luke’s abilities to effectively manage so many concurrent initiatives make him a powerhouse in any team.

I worked with Luke at Digivante, together we assessed the information security policies and procedures, as part of a gap assessment with the ISO 27001 standard, implemented to support and protect the Digivante testing community and its work with clients. We identified opportunities for improvement and defined corrective actions that could be completed within a short time frame to further enhance the level of security embedded into the systems and processes that are used daily. Luke operates this community professionally and with transparency, on the people management and technical management aspects, benefiting both clients and testers. Outside of this role, Luke is able to take a holistic approach to business and has excellent awareness of multiple different business functions, both technical and procedural. It was a pleasure to work with Luke, he would be a fantastic asset to any business in search of community management expertise and/or business management ability.
