About Agile Coach Mike
My Story
I am an Agile Coach, Mentor, Trainer, and Transformational Leader with a deep commitment to helping organizations thrive in their Agile journeys. With over a decade of experience, I’ve had the privilege of guiding diverse teams across various industries, transforming their processes into scalable and sustainable Agile environments.
My approach is rooted in empathy and understanding, recognizing that every team and organization is unique. I specialize in implementing and refining Agile frameworks like Scrum @ Scale, SAFe, LeSS, and Kanban, always with a focus on fostering a culture of continuous improvement. I work closely with teams to enhance Agile maturity, ensuring that their growth is aligned with the broader organizational goals.
Throughout my career at companies such as Fidelity, John Deere, and Scholastic, I’ve been fortunate to lead large-scale Agile transformations that have not only improved operational efficiency but also brought a deeper sense of collaboration and fulfillment to the teams I’ve worked with. My passion is in guiding organizations through complex changes, building strong, resilient Agile practices, and helping them achieve both their immediate and long-term goals in a way that feels meaningful and sustainable.
