About Me!
I am a highly experienced IT professional with over 30 years commercial IT experience. I have worked as a test consultant, test manager, information security manager, project manager, IT auditor, business analyst, systems analyst/designer and programmer. I have a particular interest in testing’s relationship with audit and governance.
I spent 14 years working for General Accident (now Aviva) then nine years with IBM working with a range of blue-chip clients. Most of my experience was in financial services, but I also worked with clients in retail, pharmaceuticals, telecoms and central government.
I have spoken at conferences in Europe, the USA and Australia and written many articles and blog posts about testing and IT (https://clarotesting.wordpress.com/).
