Agile Coach & Cycling Athlete
Why Agile and Cycling?
I have been an Agile Coach to help with change and transformation challenges. I am also a passionate cycling athlete. Cycling is one of the most complex and challenging discipline in sports. As in cycling a lot of business enterprises struggle to manage complex situations and find solutions for them.
To master challenging endeavors, whether in cycling or business, we need a vision, a strategy and motivation. To reach our goals we have to dream, act, measure, inspect, learn and adapt, but also to lead. Agile mindset and methods are predestined to overcome these challenges.

I help and support with the challenges of our time: The world is characterized by volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity (VUCA).
Both companies and individuals are looking for solutions to these problems.
With deep and practical experience using Agile Methodologies I design executable strategies to manage risks while securing business value.
I believe that the strengths of every organization lie in its diversity and that dealing effectively and efficiently with complex challenges requires a careful balance between data-driven analysis and interpersonal relationships.
My approach combines evidence-based methods with agile adaptability and a deep understanding of complex systems to ensure sustainable success. I attach great importance to respectful and appreciative interactions because I am convinced that motivated and committed teams are the driving force behind every successful organization.
I promote the agile mindset. I offer management and participation in (scaled) product delivery through agile frameworks. I use and apply appropriate agile practices and empower teams to deliver the value needed and desired by customers.
As a servant leader and Agile Coach, I lead and accompany organizations in agile transformation processes. My goal is to support people in the change process with empathy and to achieve sustainable improvements.
I provide coaching for leaders and their teams to help them both perform better and be more motivated. As an Agile Coach, it is important for me to convey how true agility adds value to a company and why leadership support for agile teams is essential.
Using evidence-based management, I show organizations how they can achieve their strategic goals in an uncertain environment. Using an empirical approach, I help to formulate hypotheses, define metrics and validate the results. It is important to me to improve time to market and innovation capabilities.
