Hi, I’m Marianne.
For 9 years, I’ve been working with individuals, teams and organizations in every stage of the agile journey. Connecting people is my super power! I bridge the communication gap between leaders and experts in different departments thanks to my Bachelor’s degree in Software Engineering, high levels of empathy and strong facilitation skills.
Industries I’ve worked in include IT, automotive, travel and medicine with companies across Europe, in Cuba and the US.
Supporting remote teams has been my jam since 2017.
🚨 WARNING 🚨
Letting me facilitate your meetings may lead to
smiley faces and better collaboration!
What I can do for your team as an Agile Coach
People use agile practices to understand their customers better, improve products, simplify their workflows and remove knowledge silos.
It sounds simple, but it’s not easy. That’s where I come in.
By listening and observing, asking good questions and facilitate conversations, I help teams to find out what needs to be adjusted and how they can integrate these changes into their daily work. I also support teams to collaborate more, communicate better, resolve conflicts and remove impediments so people can do their best work.
Teams can be any level, size or department, from 50 developers, to 10 sales reps to 3 CEOs.
