I’m an experienced leader with a passion for solving problems and facing new challenges.
One of my insights is that great business comes from happy and empowered people who have taken ownership of their own, or the team’s, assignment, and the leadership trust them to solve it. There are no failures, just opportunities for learning, and by using discovery as a tool for finding the best solution, you minimize the risk for the business and it will reduce the stress on people.
My main interest lies in how to improve the overall system in larger organizations where team and leadership operate, with a focus on flow. This can be a business in agile transformation or a business that would like to improve its process for developing the products. I believe in agile values and the culture they create in a working environment.
I’m pragmatic regarding agile and lean UX methods and I work closely with the individuals to develop the way of working best fitted for the company, the product, and the teams. I energize and inspire people to see new opportunities and to take on new challenges. I work with both short and long-term strategies and drive changes as experiments to be evaluated and adjusted to reach agreed goals.
