Fidelity is a multi-billion-dollar financial services company.

I had two roles:

A matrix role to improve test capability across all Fidelity business units. A line management role of a group that supported these 15+ test groups. Started with a group of 3 people and grew it to 55 people in 18 months – with a total budget of $50M. More than half of the growth in staff was accomplished by attracting transfers from other Fidelity business units.
