Summary
Ioana Leontiuc is a Technical Program Manager with 11 years of software engineering and quality leadership experience, now driving programs at Microsoft from Bucharest. She blends hands-on engineering roots—having built two automated code-and-test quality tools—with product ownership and tribe-level quality strategy honed at Nokia, where she recovered key KPIs by 60% and introduced “Not tested? Not done.” practices. Comfortable across domains from geoscience and aerospace to finance and telecom, she focuses on preventing technical debt through corporate blueprints, efficient quality data frameworks, and cross-team improvement plans. A former TU Delft teaching assistant, she pairs academic rigor in software testing with pragmatic coaching and workshop-led change to create high-performing teams. Notably, she achieved a 100% sprint success rate as a product owner and scaled team efficiency ninefold by mining and acting on team metadata—an indicator of her data-informed, restorative approach to delivery quality.
