United StatesWhat I'm looking for
As a Certified Scrum Master and Agilist, I have a proven track record of leading Agile transformations and driving operational improvements across various teams. My experience spans multiple industries, where I have successfully facilitated Scrum ceremonies, resolved impediments, and fostered a culture of continuous improvement. I excel in building collaborative teams and managing team dynamics, ensuring that both technical and non-technical stakeholders are aligned and engaged.
