Top SchoolJohn Englezou is a seasoned test automation leader with over 11 years' experience modernising QA practices across finance and energy sectors, currently serving part-time as Test Automation Lead at Royal London Asset Management. He has a strong track record introducing BDD-driven automation (Gherkin, SpecFlow, Cucumber) and shifting teams from legacy commercial tools to open-source JavaScript stacks and CI/CD pipelines in Azure DevOps, Jenkins and containerised environments.

Based in Stony Stratford and holding an MSc in IT, he’s currently recovering from a long-term illness but brings a rare blend of legacy-system experience and modern automation pragmatism that accelerates delivery in high-stakes environments.
