Bio

As a senior Agile Transformation leader and Manager of a supporting Agile Coaching team I have extensive experience leading the uplift and embedding of organisational capability required to drive pragmatic adoption and transformation of new ways of working at scale. Strong people and thought leader skills together with deep experience working with technology and digital teams has given me success in embedding domain bespoke approaches to adoption of the principles and practices required to deliver upon new ways of Agile working across large organisations.

I have over 25 years’ international experience as a Software Developer, Systems Architect, technical trainer and more recently as an Agile Certified Practitioner. As an Agile Leader, I have developed a broad range of skills that enable me to support and guide development teams, team leads, Product Owners, Leads, Managers and Executives in continuously improving product, processes, ceremonies, and practices using both traditional and Agile approaches.

Proficient in Scrum/Kanban/XP/Lean, systems thinking, SAFe (SPC certified) and business process management, I am also a highly effective trainer and facilitator of workshops on topics such as retrospectives, release planning, user story mapping, impact/risk mapping, inceptions, backlog refinement, iteration reviews and planning.

I help teams build, and consistently deliver, high quality software by creating and fostering an environment where people can work effectively together to deliver great outcomes for their customers. I effectively foster improved collaboration within and between teams, product owners and all parties thereby enabling people to do their best work and deliver often, whilst at the same time feeling empowered and valued.

Having worked for companies big, small, and startup, including Amazon, Kodak, OpenText, Nordstrom, NAB, PwC and NBN, the role of Agile coach is a perfect match for my technical software delivery background, communication, collaboration, and technical trainer skills. I have a passion for continuous learning, improvement, and experimentation and I am also active in the Agile community through regular participation at meetups, training, and networking events.
