“I love helping teams discover the magic of agile and watching them build high-performing, happy working cultures.”

I've always loved new ways of thinking, entrepreneurship, and that startup mentality which embraces change and creativity. So, without even knowing it, I've been applying agile ways of thinking and working right from the start of my career.

Working with both global organisations and small startups, I am passionate about building and creating collaborative, connected teams that are motivated by a shared sense of purpose.

For the last decade, I've worked as a coach and trainer using agile principles, scrum, Kanban, and SAFe techniques and the stories of my experience with them to help transform organisations at scale. I like the way that these approaches promote simplicity and transparency, which can help businesses better navigate our complex world. Visualising work is also a great way to foster team alignment.

I use many of these principles in my personal life as well. I approach problems with a curious mindset, and I have a Kanban board to help me focus on the things I want to accomplish. I'm also a lover of food, so in my spare time, you'll find me cooking and exploring new dishes.
