Testronic has announced a series of high‑level appointments across its worldwide operations, underscoring the company’s commitment to strengthening its leadership and expanding its service capabilities. Among the most notable additions is Mike Guttman, who has been elevated to the role of Vice President of Senior Partnerships.
In this capacity, Guttman will be responsible for cultivating and managing relationships with Testronic’s most strategic clients, ensuring that the firm’s partnership model remains both collaborative and results‑driven. Guttman brings a wealth of experience from his previous tenure as a client partner at Keywords Studios, where he helped shape large‑scale outsourcing strategies for major game developers.
Prior to that, he held a senior business development manager position, honing his skills in market expansion, deal negotiation, and client retention. His deep understanding of the gaming and interactive entertainment sectors positions him well to guide Testronic’s senior partnership initiatives and to act as a trusted advisor for the company’s most valuable customers. Supporting Guttman’s efforts is Nicole Closson, who joins the team as Business Development Manager.
Closson’s mandate is to broaden Testronic’s commercial reach and to provide additional support to partners both regionally and globally. Her background includes a stint as an enterprise account executive at Keywords Studios, where she managed high‑value accounts and drove revenue growth. She also served as a senior account executive at Unity, focusing on the Parsec and SyncSketch product lines, experiences that equipped her with a nuanced perspective on developer tools and workflow integration.
Together, Guttman and Closson are expected to deepen Testronic’s market penetration and to deliver tailored solutions that meet the evolving needs of game studios worldwide. In the European hub of Warsaw, Testronic has promoted Mateusz Kałuża to the position of QA Director. Kałuża arrives with an extensive track record in quality assurance, having previously occupied senior testing roles at Lionbridge Games.
He emphasized the strategic importance of Warsaw as a centre of QA excellence: "Warsaw brings together deep QA expertise, experience and a real understanding of what developers need from a testing partner. Our continued investment in the team ensures we grow that expertise locally, fully connect it with Testronic's wider global capabilities and deliver consistently for partners wherever they are based." Kałuża’s appointment signals Testronic’s intent to leverage the region’s talent pool and to integrate local insights with the company’s broader global service framework.
Further reinforcing the company’s global partnership strategy, Lily Guerreiro has been added as Global Partnerships Senior Manager. Guerreiro’s previous role as Global Business Development Manager at Keywords Studios gave her a panoramic view of international client acquisition and partnership management. In her new capacity, she will oversee cross‑border collaboration initiatives, ensuring that Testronic’s partnership model remains cohesive and adaptable across different markets. The Manila Centre of Excellence, a cornerstone of Testronic’s operational network, has also seen senior talent join its ranks.
Daniel Bowie Soriano steps into the role of Senior QA Manager, where he will lead a team of testers responsible for delivering high‑quality assurance services to a diverse portfolio of clients. Alongside him, Ivan Balanay has been appointed QA Trainer, a role that directly supports the company’s investment in the Testronic Academy—a training program designed to cultivate the next generation of QA professionals. The company highlighted Balanay’s appointment as a key element in its strategy to build a robust pipeline of skilled testers and to maintain a culture of continuous learning. Chief Revenue Officer Michael Fitzgerald offered perspective on the broader significance of these appointments, stating: "Our Centres of Excellence bring together talented people, specialist expertise and leadership, and connect those capabilities across a genuinely global organisation.
The investments we are making in New Orleans, Warsaw and Manila, alongside our presence in London, further strengthen the expertise available to our partners. By continuing to invest in outstanding people, we can deliver an exceptional Player‑Focused, Partner‑First and Outcomes‑Led service to our clients." Fitzgerald’s comments reflect a strategic vision that places people and expertise at the heart of Testronic’s growth model. These leadership changes come on the heels of a recent reshuffle at the company’s highest tier. Earlier this month, Sonia Kerr was appointed Chief Executive Officer, succeeding Sharon Baylay‑Bell, who transitioned to the role of company chair.
In addition, Michael Fitzgerald was confirmed as CRO, while Samantha Williams took on the role of Chief Commercial Officer. Fitzgerald’s background includes a client partnership role at Keywords Studios, and Williams previously served as Testronic’s global CRO and head of Europe, bringing a deep understanding of both revenue generation and market expansion. Collectively, these appointments illustrate Testronic’s proactive approach to scaling its leadership talent pool, reinforcing its global footprint, and ensuring that the company remains at the forefront of quality assurance and partnership excellence in the gaming industry. By aligning senior expertise with regional strengths—whether in New Orleans, Warsaw, Manila, or London—Testronic aims to deliver a seamless, high‑impact service experience that meets the demanding expectations of modern game developers and publishers.
The expanded leadership team is poised to drive innovation, nurture talent, and sustain the company’s reputation as a trusted partner dedicated to player‑centric outcomes and industry‑leading quality standards.
