About Us

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DE&I) are among the most important and timely topics companies address today. HR departments actively recruit diverse talent, and companies hire DE&I leaders and training managers to build inclusive teams. Iterators LLC has recognized DE&I since its inception and was founded in 2017 with the principle that people with diverse backgrounds enhance and strengthen software testing outcomes.

Building trust and credibility are what businesses require to reduce barriers to projects. Iterators LLC is a certified woman-owned small business (WOSB) located in Boston, MA. Iterators' diversity of testers (women, neurodivergent, and BIPOC employees) augment the diversity of thought needed for every project we touch.

Reviews on Clutch and elsewhere confirm our quality. We welcome businesses from small start-ups to large enterprise software projects. We work with our clients at any stage of their projects, providing high-quality software testing, on-demand services, timely reports, and attentive service throughout the engagement.

Many Wrongs Don’t Lead to a Right

We try to protect our children and make decisions daily to ease growing up and transitioning to adulthood. This is especially true when we know our children will face obstacles due to a disability. I recall when I lied to my son when he was ten years old, and I still think about it. I thought the circumstance made it the right thing to do, hoping things would change by the time he reached adulthood, but I am unsure all these years later if it was the right decision.

A little background.

Years ago, while working at a Fortune 500 company, my former employer-determined everyone was required to work 12-14-hour days, including weekends, for the next eight weeks. I went to my supervisor and only then revealed a medical condition due to a childhood injury and the impact this schedule would have on my health. Rather than finding some common ground, I was let go and treated poorly. My son was old enough to understand and concerned because he has a language disorder that will cross his lifespan. He worried he would not find a job, given what happened to me. I told him most people are kind and would object to what happened to me if they knew the circumstances.

A Long Way to Go

Unfortunately, not enough has changed since he was ten years old. When I reassured my son years ago, I did not know that hiring practices would barely evolve. Hiring managers continue to focus on specific attributes, unable or unwilling to consider candidates' positive qualities, concerned it will be a risk to hire someone with a disability. As an HR professional, I know two things for sure: it's a risk to hire anyone, and it's never appropriate to tell an applicant they're not a cultural fit.

With that perspective, we founded Iterators LLC, with an inclusive workforce. Our employees enjoy working for a company that focuses on their skillsets, not whether they interview a certain way or fit a predetermined profile. Our employees can have meaningful jobs and a level of independence that everyone wants to have.

Iterators’ commitment.

Iterators provides high-quality software testing services to any business, size, or industry. Our employees and our values make us different. We believe in healthy relationships with our clients and employees. We believe that maintaining these standards builds a better community.

Leadership Team

Jill Willcox

Co-Founder - Managing Member

After graduating as a professional nurse, Jill Willcox worked as a liaison between insurance companies and individuals who sustained catastrophic injuries while at work. Over time, her work grew to include other groups with an emphasis on Accessibility—this work helped move individuals toward a more independent life by removing barriers. Overall, this allowed individuals to be more independent and reduced medical care costs with fewer hospitalizations and on-going treatments. Her efforts now are to increase access to websites and Information Communication Technology (ICT), so access is available to everyone.

Amelia Willcox graduated from Clark University with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology. She earned her Master of Science in Speech-Language Pathology from Northwestern University.
