What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters innovation and collaboration, allowing me to leverage my Agile expertise to drive impactful change.

I am a seasoned technology leader with a collaborative approach to leadership, specializing in Agile methodologies and innovation strategies. Currently, I lead a team of senior Agile coaches at HP, focusing on product management and leadership development. My extensive experience includes coaching AI-driven projects and establishing a new Software Development Lifecycle that enhances efficiency across all divisions.

My thought leadership has been recognized in prominent publications such as IEEE and InfoQ, and I have had the honor of speaking at industry conferences like Agile Alliance. I hold a bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering and a master's in Organizational Development, and I am currently writing my first book on leveraging Agile patterns to navigate complex challenges effectively.
