About

Title: Chief Effectiveness Officer

I help teams and leaders turn Agile into real results—without the jargon or corporate snooze-fest. For over a decade, I’ve worked with Netflix, Microsoft, and ServiceNow to make Agile practical, scalable, and effective.

I was the lead Agile coach for Scrum Alliance, guiding their own Agile transformation, and co-created the Certified Team Coaching (CTC) and Certified Agile Leader - K12 (CAL-K12) programs.

My approach blends Scrum, Lean, and other modern Agile methods to help organizations and educators build agility at scale. I also created Agile Classrooms, bringing Agile to K-12 education to help schools future-proof their students.

What’s my class like?

No boring lectures—just hands-on learning, real-world insights, and skills you can use immediately.

When I’m not coaching teams, I’m surfing, practicing martial arts, perfecting my drinking chocolate, or playing Uno with my family (house rules apply).

Recognized by Forbes for my insights on Agile leadership and transformation:

If you want a Scrum class that’s engaging, practical, and built for real-world impact, let’s do this.
