Summary
I love putting agility into practice and helping teams and companies advance in developing technological and innovative products. To me, it's important to promote the agile mindset through structure and by creating positive practical experiences. As an expert in the practical application of scaled agility, our clients appreciate that we truly get involved in operational implementation and drive real results. For me, this mainly means proactively pushing topics and interpreting agility every day to bring theory into practice. Always with the goal of fully unleashing the benefits of agile working in teams and organizations - focus & drive, self-organized teams, outcome & adaptability, and a fast time-to-market.
