With more than thirty five years in the software industry, I have worked as a Developer, Test Analyst and Test Manager for a variety of different organisations. My passion is to enthuse, excite and inspire people in the area of software testing and I have been privileged to speak at a number of world renowned conferences. I was Programme Chair for both the tenth and eleventh EuroSTAR conferences and won the European Testing Excellence award in 2004.

Lloyd Roden Consultancy is an independent training and consultancy company specialising in software testing. I believe that any work that I do, whether it be in the form of consultancy or training, must be relevant, practical and must make a difference to the individual as well as the organisation. It is important to me that people not only enjoy the courses that I run but they improve their skills in software testing which will ultimately reflect on the improved quality of the products being delivered by the organisation. I also aim to be at the leading-edge of latest ideas and methodologies within the IT industry so as to remain relevant and real in what I deliver in the testing community.

I have delivered training and consultancy to many different industries, companies and countries around the world. Working in organisations around the world has enhanced my own knowledge and skills and has certainly broadened my perspective of software testing. I have truly appreciated every culture I have worked in, and believe I am what I am today because of the vast array of attitudes, values, goals and practices in software testing from all these different countries.
