Biography

Where to start? Well my Agile journey started in 2001 (yeah!) when eXtreme Programming was more hot than Scrum!

From that point until somewhere around 2013 I was an Agile tester. Presented at conferences about breaking the traditional waterfall way of testing. Eurostar 2003, SQS-conferences in Germany and speaker at AgileTestingDays in 2009, 2010 and 2011 (the first 3 editions).

Then I became ScrumMaster because testing engineering wasn’t my thing, but people helping to adapt to Agile was. So I did that for the past 10 years or so, including Agile Coaching.

And now I’m setting up a label to connect Agile Experts with training opportunities: connecting the dots in this market between supply and demand. Feel free to follow us on InstaGram. My focus will be The Netherlands first (it’s where I live), but who knows what international opportunities arise, while I’m busy making other plans 😉
