Phil’s appointment follows a distinguished enterprise sales career across strategy, execution and operations at leading technology organisations including Taleo, Oracle and most recently Workday. He will lead on supporting the needs of enterprise businesses through QA’s innovative solutions and approach to workplace training. This includes market-leading digital apprenticeships and learning programmes, short-course skills bootcamps and Total Learning™, a new truly blended learning method developed in response to changing business and individual needs as a result of the pandemic.

Phil Jones commented, “Skills development and learning is a brilliant sector that’s close to my heart. Demand for tech and digital skills is sky high and there just isn’t enough ready talent to hire your way out of a skills deficit. Solving your skills challenges in a sustainable and impactful way is ever more critical. QA’s passion for this is infectious and I can’t wait to support that mission.”

“Stuart Martin has been a critical part of this plan, working tirelessly over the past two decades to ensure QA’s growth. His encouragement and support as he retires from QA puts us in a fantastic place to build on his successes.”
