Ilango D is a Quality Engineering executive and AI product builder who has spent his career making enterprise software ship right — at scale, under pressure, and on time. He has built and led QA organisations of nearly 100 professionals, establishing Centers of Excellence that became the quality benchmark across multi-geography delivery programmes.
Most recently as Senior Manager & Head of QA Engineering and Automation at Concentrix | ProKarma (INEIGHT), he led a 97-member QA organisation across manual, functional automation, performance engineering, and AI research streams — driving a QA transformation that reduced regression execution time by 60% and accelerated release cycles by 40%.
Beyond his corporate track record, Ilango is the Founder of CoherenIQ, an AI-native product studio with live platforms across PropTech, LegalTech, and Capital Markets — built entirely hands-on using Claude AI, Lovable, Emergent, and Codex. His pipeline includes an LLM-driven zero-scripting test automation tool and India's first quantum random number generator.
What ties it together is delivery excellence: governance frameworks, enterprise-wide QA audits, quality gates built into CI/CD, and CMM Level 5 discipline — applied to multi-geography programmes across the US, Germany, Belgium, and India. And what sets his approach apart today is AI-first quality engineering: self-healing frameworks, LLM-powered test generation, and zero-scripting automation that replace manual effort and shorten feedback loops.
He brings to every role what few leaders can: Director-level strategy and a builder's instinct — the ability to define the vision and ship the product himself. Open to Director, VP, and Head of Engineering roles in QA Transformation, AI Quality Engineering, and AI Product Leadership — and to consulting engagements with small and mid-sized organisations, especially start-ups.
