Mike Cullen
Wawanesa Insurance
Mike has been in a QA role for eighteen years, with the last twelve focused on QA leadership. While developing quality assurance skills and methods as part of a small and growing financial planning company, his strategy evolved from reacting to client issues found in production to establishing quality processes, building a team of highly analytical and technical resources, and focusing on proactive solutioning. In his six years at Wawanesa, he has led a number of teams through significant change. Currently, as part of the Centre for Enablement, Mike leads a team that provides enterprise solutions for testing—manual, automated, and performance—through establishment of best practices, building relationships across enterprise teams, and being champions of change as we learn from industry leaders.
