Brad Bowden

Brad Bowden has devoted more than fifteen years to helping organizations improve software quality, delivery practices, and technology outcomes. His work has placed him alongside leadership teams that need better testing, stronger release processes, and more reliable digital transformation efforts. He has developed a reputation for connecting quality engineering to business value rather than presenting it as a general service. His career reflects a focus on enterprise relationships, accountability, and consistent execution.

Brad serves as Associate Vice President of Business Development at QualiZeal, where he works to grow the company’s enterprise customer relationships. His outreach focuses on establishing trust with leadership teams and creating opportunities that align with client needs. He quickly helped secure multiple Fortune 1000 logos and supported QualiZeal’s growth as a stronger player in its regional market. His method is direct and consistent: ask what the client needs to accomplish, then show how quality engineering can support that goal.

Brad helped scale enterprise relationships during his time as Senior Director of Business Development at Cigniti Technologies. His focus was commercial expansion in the United States, with a strong emphasis on the Southeast. He was responsible for landing several Fortune 500 accounts and helping the company strengthen its market footprint. His responsibilities included strategic account development, client relationship management, and ensuring that delivery commitments were connected to long-term client success.

Brad understands the role quality engineering plays in protecting customers, revenue, and software delivery. His experience has shown that testing problems can delay releases and create avoidable risk. At the same time, strong quality practices can support innovation and improve confidence. He also believes AI is becoming important to the future of quality engineering, both as a system that must be tested carefully and as a tool that can help teams work more effectively.

Brad has also committed time to the broader technology community. Since 2017, he has served on the Board of Directors for the Technology Association of Georgia. His work there supports collaboration, industry growth, and a stronger regional technology ecosystem. He has also participated in efforts related to the Data Governance Society, with a focus on responsible data use. In 2024, he received the Technology Association of Georgia Impact Award for that support.

Brad Bowden lives and works in Atlanta, Georgia, where he has built a meaningful network across the technology community. He earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from Georgia State University, where he was placed on the Dean’s List, and he also attended North Carolina State University. His career is defined by growth-stage companies, enterprise customer wins, practical leadership, and a record of helping firms improve their position in competitive markets.
