      Trainer/coach

      I am a Certified Scrum Master, SAFe Agilist and a SAFe Program Consultant. I love to teach and being able to help others with their transformation to Lean and Agile. We’re a consortium of ordinary people who have experienced the magic of implementing Lean-Agile practices. Magic may imply the results are illusory, but they’re as real as it gets. In fact, even though we’re not messing around, being a part of a creative, engaged and productive team doesn’t feel like work, well, most of the time.We’ve been consultants, trainers and coaches for a variety of Global 500 and select government clients during the past 20 years. Some of us happened upon Agile, others took a more direct approach. Together we’re committed to your success and making the world a better place. Show less
