Let's build effective IT organisations where people love to work!

For 10 years, I have helped organizations to improve (Agile) delivery.

I have led large transformation programs impacting all layers of the organization and up to 50 teams, and ran delivery programs of up to 15 SAFe teams where cross-team coordination is essential. My work involves aligning stakeholders and departments in transformation and delivery efforts.

I have a pragmatic and people-oriented approach, and facilitate change by building bridges between stakeholders and empowering teams to navigate resistance and adopt new practices that stick. My coaching supports personal growth, team maturity, and organizational resilience.

Previous I have worked in different roles like Transformation Lead, RTE and Executive Coach, and I know how to align many teams simultaneously. Also I am experienced in leadership development and have led multiple large delivery programs and Agile transformations.

SAFe Program Consultant and trained Co-Active and ORSC coach.

A mentor is like a living reference book of experience. 
You can open it to any chapter and receive trusted help and guidance. 
As your mentor, I see my role as that book you can always open when you need to.

I have developed cultures, management, and leaders that are strong, enduring, and resilient. And I've been doing it for nearly 5 decades.

If you’re a new manager or thinking about becoming one, I've already been where you're going.

If you’re an existing manager, I’ve already been where you are.

If you’re struggling with the uncertainties of entrepreneurship, I already have.

If you’re stuck with a culture that’s smothering, I’ve seen far too many.


I have helped, supported, and guided hundreds of people just like you.

This is what I do, and have done my entire life.


What’s my approach?

Listening. 

Because having an unbiased person outside your network who listens is a liberating experience. Talking things through has a magic to it. Just the act of talking and having someone listen is wonderfully restorative.

Sharing.
 
Because having a depth of experience to share provides a wide base for confidence. When you realize you’re not alone doing anything new, you no longer feel like an imposter. 

Advising.

Because trusted advice provides options for determined decisions. Afraid, confused, intimidated, in fear of making mistakes or what others might think. It can all be debilitating. Good advice based on experience can offer a way out. You’ll no longer be a stranger in a strange land.

Supporting.

Because I know the struggle is real and ongoing. I understand.


A mentor is like a living reference book of experience.

Make the call, open the book.
