Megan Ozanne - Slow down to speed up

In this episode of Leading with Quality, Rosie Sherry talks with Megan Ozanne, Test Lead at Clue Software, about leading with communication, visibility, and care in a world where AI is reshaping how we work. Megan shares how she went from working in horse racing to leading testing teams on investigation software, and how that shift taught her to pay attention to people, context, and how work really gets done.

Rosie and Megan talk about the reality of test leadership today. They look at what it is like to support multiple scrum teams, work part time and remote, and still keep testers involved early in decisions. They also explore the practical side of bringing AI into testing work, from helping manual testers learn automation through to keeping frameworks consistent and maintainable across teams.

You will hear about:

• How Megan used a short unpaid work trial to move into her first testing role
• The impact of aligning acceptance criteria across teams so that everyone shares the same language
• How Clue keeps remote, part time testers in the loop through clear communication habits and shared channels
• Specific ways the team uses AI tools to teach automation skills while keeping human review in place
• How Megan uses documentation, wikis, and “tips and tricks” channels to support consistency across multiple repos
• Why she expects tester roles to shift toward coaching and oversight as AI writes more of the code and tests
• How she thinks about keeping testing fundamentals alive while the pace of change and pressure to deliver increase

Watch the conversation to see how modern test leadership is evolving and what role quality teams can play in an AI-accelerated world.
