Experienced Agile Transformation Coach with a decade of leadership expertise.
What I'm looking for
With over 10 years of experience supporting Executive Leadership Teams in international FTSE100 and NASDAQ corporations, I specialize in designing and implementing scaled Agile and digital transformations. As a Certified Agile Trainer and Coach, I am dedicated to helping organizations achieve better business outcomes through Agile delivery methods. My signature training program, 'The Ultimate Change Agents Training,' reflects my commitment to fostering Agile agents of change within organizations.
Throughout my career, I have successfully led Agile transformations across various sectors, including Banking, FinTech, Software, and Energy. My work with clients such as Tesco PLC, BP PLC, and Euroclear PLC has equipped me with the insights and skills necessary to drive systemic change. I take pride in my ability to coach leaders and teams, enabling them to adopt Agile practices that enhance performance and deliver value at a faster pace.
I am passionate about creating high-performing teams and have contributed to the development of Agile Coaching Playbooks and training programs that empower individuals and organizations to thrive in an Agile environment. My goal is to continue transforming organizations by instilling an Agile mindset and fostering a culture of continuous improvement.
