WELCOME! I'M BJORN
A freelance sr. Agile Project manager (with 20 years of experience) who coaches,
guides and drives teams to achieve the unknown and impossible.I am a super driven
Agile Coach, trainer and Agile Project manager where communication and motivation
are of utmost importance to me. Even though I have high demands on myself, I also
have a hands-on approach to advise and help teams when and wherever needed.
Due to my extensive experience in development and management of software
applications, I know the challenges to be faced when dealing with deadlines in an IT-
department. This puts me in the position to guide, stimulate and motivate multiple
teams (on business and IT side) with the same end result in mind and getting the job
done.
