Description

I help engineering teams and organisations deliver faster, scale sustainably, and work with clarity. With 17+ years across fintech, logistics, mobility, and scale-ups, I bring hands-on leadership, certified agile coaching, and structured programme management to every engagement.

Whether you need an interim Engineering Manager to lead and grow your team, an agile coach to improve how your squads work, or a programme lead to drive complex delivery, I step in quickly and add value from day one.

My background spans companies like Miro, Sendcloud, Morgan Stanley, and Wells Fargo, managing teams of 25+ engineers, running multi-country rollouts, and coaching organisations through rapid growth. I hold PSM II and SAFe certifications, applied in real high-pressure environments, not just theory.

What I typically help with: interim EM cover, sprint and delivery process improvement, team scaling, OKR and roadmap setup, stakeholder alignment, and agile transformation.

Available from May 2025, based in Amstelveen, open to remote and hybrid engagements across the Netherlands and Europe.
