I help people navigate the gap between theory and organizational reality.

Most agile coaches sell you frameworks. I help you figure out what actually works when the frameworks meet messy human systems, political constraints, and the pressure to show results.

What I’ve actually done:

• Guided career shifters into Scrum Master roles (including people who thought their humanities background was a disadvantage; it’s not)

• Built and led teams under strict regulatory deadlines where failure wasn’t an option

• Currently bridging agile practices with AI transformation and emerging regulatory landscapes (EU AI Act, agentic systems)

I’m useful if you’re:

• Transitioning into product or agile roles and need honest guidance beyond certifications

• Stuck in “agile theater” and want to create actual change despite organizational resistance

• Navigating politics while trying to do meaningful work

• Combining non-traditional backgrounds (humanities, social sciences) with tech leadership

• Wondering how AI actually changes team dynamics and organizational structures (not just the hype)

My approach:

I don’t do cookie-cutter solutions. Co-creation beats imposed frameworks. Self-organization requires specific conditions, not just declaration.

Sometimes the best move is knowing when standard advice doesn’t apply.

Background:

Humanities → Product Management → Agile Coaching. CSP-SM, CSPO, PMI-ACP.

I'm currently learning AI Engineering because understanding the technology matters when you’re leading teams building with it.

I never had a mentor who got the complexity of this work. Let’s talk about yours.
