Topics I speak about are Hybrid Work and Office-as-a-Tool, Collaboration and workplace inclusivity, teamwork in the digital space, workshop facilitation, and the Product Owner/Scrum Master dynamic in day-to-day Scrum practice.
I enjoy MC'ing and building hype to create inclusive, enjoyable experiences - online and on-site. Here's a sample of me bringing my enthusiasm to Agile Day Kaunas, a 120-people Open Space-fueled conference in Lithuania:
Do you work in an agile environment? Do you want to get more out of your cooperation with your team?

I am an experienced facilitator for workshops, meetings and sessions - both online and in person. I combine goal-based learning design and an understanding of group dynamics to create a flexible space for participants to safely engage with one another. I have an active, confident stance.
I've facilitated roundtables, fishbowls, offsites, trainings, retrospectives, strategy sessions and webinars. Group sizes for my facilitation work have been as widely diverse as ranging from 3 to 75 people.
Together with Karlijn Moll, I organised ⛺️ Agile Camp NL, a two-day BarCamp event for the agile community at a spectacular location in Utrecht. The first edition took place on Friday 1 + Saturday 2 Nov 2019.
I have a decade-long background in agile co-creation and a knack for working with diverse, distributed feature teams. With a positive outlook on everything and a strong interest in agile coaching, I engage teams to work together effectively.
I'm a political scientist turned front-end developer turned Scrum Master, with extensive experience in conference and meetup organisation.
I operate in the Netherlands and in Lithuania, and I've been working with distributed teams non-stop since 2017.
