I am an Agile Coach and Consultant passionate about my job and I am specialised in the application of Agile in the development of physical products.

I am currently a freelance Agile coach and consultant and my mission is to support organisations of different sectors and sizes in their Agile journey and to help development teams in creating amazing new products in a complex environment.

I worked in London and Paris for different companies, every experience enlarged my perspective of the world. I supported a large car manufacturer in their Agile transformation, a unique chance to see from the inside how a major corporation mutates and what are the challenges and opportunities in this situation. This experience has been the foundation for the rest of my professional life: since then I have helped large organizations developing physical products to become more Agile. That has allowed me to push the limits of Agile, and to apply Agile values, principles, frameworks and practices beyond the digital world.

I am a regular speaker to conferences in Italy and abroad: the topics of my talks come from my experience from the trenches and are Agile for hardware, Agile for Engineering and Product Development.

My mission is to create teams that change the world.

I began this mission as a software developer. I saw in myself and other teams a passion for creating products that people would use and love. I saw that same passion dashed over and over again when the products fell flat. I knew there was more out there.

I have sought for years to find ways of enabling teams and organizations to have a different story. One where the hard work pays off. One where people take pride in a job well done and a product that people love.

I'm a long way off still from saying my mission is accomplished, but I'm here to share what I've learned and to help people find that new story.

Noa Schein Kahalon builds operations and growth systems for consultancies and legal firms that are too busy solving client problems to solve their own.

She's been on every side of this. Co-founded a VC-backed AI Compliance SaaS startup where she built ops, marketing, and product strategy from nothing. Spent a decade as a privacy lawyer and consultant handling the kind of incidents that make general counsels lose sleep. Nominated for PICCASO Privacy Awards and became a Fellow of Information Privacy (FIP).

Here's what that means: she knows what it's like to build a company. She knows what it's like to serve clients. And she knows the specific physics of trying to grow a professional services business while simultaneously delivering client work. How your own operations become the thing you never have time for.

Now she works with consultancies and legal firms as a fractional operator - building the infrastructure that lets you scale without hiring three more people or working weekends.
Operations frameworks. Growth systems. Client delivery processes. Organic marketing that works.
