Ratha Jegatheson

With over 25 years of cross industry experience, I am a seasoned technology professional with a strong foundation in project management, software quality, project leadership, and digital transformation. I have consistently delivered critical programs for Fortune 500 companies, Malaysian ministries, and enterprise clients by aligning technical execution with business strategy.

My expertise spans the entire software development lifecycle, including Waterfall, Agile, DevOps, and hybrid delivery models. I have led large scale transformation projects and system implementations, often under intense scrutiny from senior leadership and government stakeholders. I am highly skilled at building high-performing technical teams, fostering inter-agency collaboration, and driving measurable improvements in system reliability and delivery timelines.

I have held leadership roles in consulting firms, government linked institutions, and multinational corporations such as Motorola and Amdocs. Notable achievements include founding QA departments from the ground up, developing end-to-end test frameworks, automating delivery pipelines, and architecting national scale digital platforms in healthcare, finance, and public transport.

In my most recent consulting engagements, I’ve advised ministries and corporations on QA governance, Agile adoption, DevOps transformation, and enterprise process optimization. I’ve also delivered strategic training on business agility, project management, and software testing to over 300 professionals.

My leadership style is rooted in clarity, accountability, and a hands on approach to delivery. I’m frequently entrusted with project recovery and technical oversight of high risk initiatives. I engage confidently with C-level stakeholders and ministerial leadership, ensuring that outcomes align with national digitalisation goals.

With certifications including PRINCE2, PSM1, CTAL-TM, Six Sigma Green Belt, and DevOps Architect, I bring both formal structure and practical agility to any technology initiative. My technical fluency spans a range of tools including JIRA, MS Project and Zendesk, while my soft skills ensure stakeholder alignment, cross functional collaboration, and results oriented leadership.

I consistently deliver high impact results with professionalism in managing distributed teams, optimizing processes, or driving policy aligned digital initiatives
