Alex Schladebeck

Alex Schladebeck is one of the managing directors at Bredex GmbH in Braunschweig, Germany with 7 years of managing experience, and 4 years of managing managers. An effervescent addition to any situation, Alex uses her unique style to her advantage in the corporate world of negotiating contracts and keeping a medium-sized company afloat amidst bigger players. Next to her leadership and strategic activities, Alex still works with customers in workshops about quality, agile and communication topics. She has won the award for “Most Influential Agile Testing Professional”, is a member of the ASQF Steering Committee and has been an active speaker since 2009 and international keynote speaker since 2016. Alex's current career grew from her years of expertise as an exploratory tester. Her presentations on the topic, with her contribution to the field through microheuristics, brought her to the realisation that the same skills of systematically exploring and categorising give her the best tools she could have to both succeed as a manager of managers, and teach others to do the same.
