NOIDA, India and SAN FRANCISCO, May 23, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Maneesh Sharma, previously GitHub General Manager for India, has joined LambdaTest, a leading test orchestration and execution platform, as its Chief Operating Officer. Maneesh will lead all the go-to-market functions in the company.
Maneesh, who has over 22 years of experience, was leading GitHub India's phenomenal growth and operations until recently.

He has also held leadership positions at top technology companies including Adobe and SAP, and was also the Java Ambassador at Sun Microsystems, where he was driving developer engagement across APAC.
"With every organization becoming a software company, customer experience is at the heart of every digital product and service. Like security, testing is also increasingly shifting left as both developers and testers build reliable and consistent product experiences. The pace of software development demands a robust and scalable testing infrastructure for organizations," said Maneesh Sharma, COO, LambdaTest. "LambdaTest has innovated with its platforms and products that help developers break away from legacy testing platforms. With roots in open source and a focus on the software testing community, I am excited to join this amazing team to help every developer build better software."

"LambdaTest is on a mission to make the daily lives of testers and developers easier. We are building a modern testing platform that is suited for the present and future testing needs of the community and Maneesh's experience will help us immensely in taking our innovation to the global market."
