10+ years IT Product Management experience, 5+ years experience in Strategy & Management consulting, 6 years experience in software development.
I have passionately spent my career moving up the ranks in the IT industry from Software Engineer to Product Manager and to Enterprise Transformation Agile Coach. Currently, I spent most of my time coaching companies interested in transforming their culture, advancing their development practices, and applying agile values and principles.

Unique ability to provide you with the right tools & techniques tailored to the needs of your organization. Coach the person, not the problem!
In the past, I was good at product management. I gained experience working on both the client-side and agency side for national and international clients that operate in insurances, traveling, Forex trading, banking, etc. I was clear in my communication and very accurate when it comes to estimations, predictability and timings, and product and team administration. With a rock-solid production knowledge driving into techniques which helps to easily bridge the gaps between technology and customers.
