Philip Lew runs much of the world at PNSQC, the Pacific Northwest Software Quality Conference--the longest-running and most technical conference in the testing world. Phil knows about everything in testing, from UX to team dynamics to which techniques work and which don't, and especially which ideas people might think are new, but are actually old-school. He's gained all this knowledge from his own testing work, the work of his company, but most importantly from diligently sifting through all the great ideas in testing every year, grading whitepapers, and then helping the community share those ideas at PNSQC.

He's currently CEO at https://www.xbosoft.com, a provider of software quality engineering services. and he's a very nice person. Take him to dinner!
