I’ve learned a great deal over the years from the teachers, mentors, and coaches who have helped guide my Agile journeys. In consideration of their service, I’ve developed—and continue to build—a collection of training resources that teach Agile values, principles, and practices from a pragmatic, real-world perspective.

I am a Agile team- and program-level coach with over 16 years of experience in Agile software development, product management, and operations. Leveraging my considerable “in the trenches” experience, technical understanding, and soft skills, I rapidly build rapport and lead by example to unleash new levels of happiness and performance. I draw readily from multiple frameworks, including LeSS, SAFe 4.5, Scrum, Kanban, and Lean. I am also the world’s first MindTime^® Certified Coach.

I have provided product leadership and Agile coaching to every scale of organization, ranging from 3-person startups to Fortune 100 corporations, including Holo, a global genetics-entertainment company, a global hospitality services company, eBay, Cisco, PagerDuty, if(we), Oversee.net, Velocify, and Gorilla Nation. I have experience in a diversity of industries, including ecommerce marketplaces, lead generation and management, and DevOps incident management and resolution. I am the lead inventor on PagerDuty’s patented operational maturity model, and co-founded a startup that was successfully sold to Chegg Inc.

I am the originator of the Agile Potluck™ and hosted the The Bay Area Agile Potluck™ Series over thirty times. I also speak about mindfulness at Agile conferences.

I am passionate about helping teams, programs, and product management professionals realize their highest potential. I do this by teaching, mentoring, and coaching teams in the values, principles, and practices found within the Agile frameworks. I help individuals understand themselves, one another, and human behavior in general through meditation and non-dual philosophy.
