About
I love to learn new stuff and I enjoy to be challenged. I am a true passionado with an inquisitive nature. I work with great enthusiasm and dedication to help individuals and organisations becoming successful !
I work based on an agile mindset (agilemanifesto.org) and I have a solid experience as a project manager (PM), scrum master, product owner and agile coach.
I work determinedly to achieve the goals in my personal life and in my career. Over the years I have learned that projects do not succeed owing to the technology, but because of the people involved and the way they work.
The combination of people, complex technology and ever changing requirements makes projects a universe of chaos and unpredictability. And the cooperation between the people involved is crucial for the success.
The people must take the centre stage. Setting the optimal process framework my focus is to offer the project participants help, support and coaching so the individuals can unfold their true potential. My approach breaks with the classic PM and welcomes the scrum master (http://bit.ly/scrummasterdef).
Based on the agile principles I work towards creating a strong culture with a winning mentality. On this basis my teams creates countless remarkable results!
I gain a lot of energy from working which gives my power and clout. I am very self-critical and I evaluate frequently. I like to be at the front setting the course, but I am very aware that a project does not succeed if the project manager crosses the finishing line without the customer and the project team.
