Since 2005 I have been focusing on enabling Lean and Agile management and effective end 2 end value chains in software development. Introducing Lean and Agile Software Development in every new assignment. My main interest is Agile transformations, scaling agile and evolving transformational leadership, from basically any role along the value chain and in any organization needing to connect the business side and the IT side of the company. I’ve been a dedicated IT professional for 30 years, having most roles from business modeling to expert troubleshooter.
Working as a developer for 16 years, mainly C++ and Java, often combining this role with roles like scrum master and maintenance manager. I’m always focusing on delivering value and reducing waste. Always motivated to learn and looking out to help a colleague.
Specialties: Great inter communicational skills! Will deliver value in any business by bringing people together. My greatest gift is making people’s knowledge and skills come to use through collaboration and communication.
