Quality Leaders Talk Digital Transformations in a New Podcast

Tricentis recently launched a new podcast Transformation in 10, bringing you expert insights for navigating transformations impacting application delivery. The “espresso-shot-sized” episodes feature interviews with innovators across the quality, DevOps, cloud, and business worlds.

I’m the podcast host and producer, which has aptly been a digitally transformative process for me, and a real pleasure to bring you a front-row seat to hear from thought leaders. From “industry-first” innovations to tried-and-true practices, it’s all fair game in our candid, casual chats.

Here’s your overview of our latest episodes, which you can listen to on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, and more.
