Popular Post russdev Posted October 21, 2015 Popular Post Posted October 21, 2015 This post is something a little different after nearly five years this is my last week and a half at Impero. As of next month I move on to a new role with Rencore as their QA Manager helping them to build up their QA process. This move is strange one for me as for the first time in my working career I am no longer in the education space. Over the years at Impero I have worked with some great people and great customers. I have seen Impero develop from a small “concepting/commitment” startup to the company it has grown into today. I certainly will be keeping my eye on Impero as Sam and Darren move Impero into its next stage and I think they are right people for the job. While Impero has gone through some up and downs one thing has always been evident. The people that work at Impero want to develop software that users love and help keep children safe. There a few “stories” that stand out from my years at Impero and I always joked I could write a book about it. The stories that stick with you are the ones where the software and E-safety lists help a child at risk. If what I said above is true you would be forgiven for asking the question “why are you moving?”. As previously mentioned Impero is about to begin its next stage in its story and while I could have carried on I felt it was time for someone new to come in and build upon foundations already laid. It was not a decision taken lightly however when Matthias offered the opportunity at Rencore to help them build the QA department up. It was a challenge I could not refuse.. However I am leaving EduGeek in the right hands as I would like to introduce Matt Wilding @ImperoMatt . Matt will be taking over my role on here for Impero being able to answer and support you when it comes to Impero. When we discussed internally who would take over my posting on EduGeek for Impero it became an obvious choice. Matt has been with Impero nearly two years and he was the second person I hired into QA department at Impero. However the reason Matt was an obvious choice is because of his background before Impero. As well as working for what was then SERCO working on their MIS offering and he is also as an ex-school network manager. I am sure Matt will do a great job and I know the EduGeek community will welcome him in. As for me I will still be lurking around and keep my eye on education space but for now can someone pass Matt some welcome Edu Biscuits.. Russell 13
