Rob Lambert

Consultant – Cultivated Management, UK

Rob Lambert is on a mission to make management more interesting, rewarding, and fun. It’s an uphill struggle. Rob started his career as a software tester, became an engineering manager, and then made the logical move sideways to HR, before setting up his own management consulting company.  When he’s not talking all things management, he writes books, help parents remain employable, takes photos of cars, podcasts about stationery, explores the English countryside with his family, and writes TV and film scripts. His biggest achievement to date is surviving parenthood to three boys. Interestingly, he hopes they grow up with their mothers bone structure as Rob has broken almost every bone in his body and spent most of his teenage years at the Accident and Emergency hospital.

Sune Engsig

Chief Evangelist – Leapwork A/S, Denmark

For more than 20 years I have been passionate about bringing business, people and technology closer together. Overall the story has been business process development and optimisation. Within this, it has been a story of facilitating business processes and rulesets that would let themselves translate into IT – and further into usable and understandable solutions for users, internal as well as external.

After having built *a lot* of business systems over the years, the next logical step was to make users lives even easier – by eliminating quality issues and bad code through automated test. But – firmly in the hands of the business savvy functional tester – after all; it is more important to know what to automate to obtain the best quality; rather than how.
