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.
