I’ve always been curious about how the world works. As a child, I took things apart just to see how they worked. Luckily for me, my parents always encouraged my curiosity.

I first learned to program computers in 1991. All it took was for my uncle to give me a handful of floppy disks about programming. 5 years later, I was developing business software and built my first commercial website.

In 2005 I graduated from law school and became a consultant for the pioneering digital consultancy Sapient. It was here I learned that agility was the answer to one of our most important questions: How do we help our clients deliver greater value? I soon became an agile coach for Sapient, which brought together everything I enjoy about my job: Business, technology, creating successful products and being part of a great team.

After I completed my MBA in 2011, I took the next step in my journey and started my own business in 2013 with the aim of helping organizations. One of my first clients came to me with a project in crisis. We used Nexus to scale Scrum and delivered what was needed on time and within budget. The success of this Nexus project is detailed in a case study by Scrum.org.

Throughout my work, I see organizations misuse the ideas behind Agile to produce outputs instead of using them for their real purpose – to create outcomes. That is why I made it my mission to help organizations, their leaders and teams create amazing outcomes.
