Svenja Sass

Svenja Sass

Svenja Sass is a senior program leader for large-scale digital transformations in DAX companies, with a focus on complex ERP/CRM landscapes and AI-enabled platforms. She has led international hybrid teams of 70+ people across onshore, nearshore and offshore locations – often stepping into programs that are already in trouble and bringing them back on track.

🔧 Delivery & Architecture
Svenja specializes in integrating different delivery models within one program – for example, combining waterfall ERP projects with agile CRM implementations under a single testing and release strategy. She designs pragmatic SIT and UAT approaches across multiple vendors and systems and is known for turning chaotic testing phases into structured, end-to-end quality gates that actually work.

👥 Leadership & Culture
Her work sits at the intersection of delivery, leadership and culture. Drawing on her podcast conversations and project recovery experience, she talks openly about what really makes or breaks projects: clarity of roles, honest escalation, and the ability to communicate change instead of just “managing” it. She has developed practical tools such as a “project user manual” for roles and expectations, and a one-page leadership guide for critical project phases.

🎙️ Keynotes & Thought Leadership
On stage, Svenja is known for her candid, concrete style – no buzzword bingo, just real stories from the field. Her keynotes include:

“Too Busy to Improve” – what high-performing executives do differently in transformation.

“Waterfall + Agile, One Program, One Go-Live” – integrated testing in mixed delivery setups.

“From Firefighting to Ownership” – how to lead hybrid engineering teams that deliver.

“Agentic AI – Adapt or Lose” – why office jobs as we know them are going away and how to stay relevant.

🧭 Focus
Across all her work, Svenja’s core theme is simple: stop being too busy to improve. She helps organizations move from permanent firefighting to focused, value-driven delivery by aligning strategy, governance and engineering culture so digital projects don’t just look good on slides, but actually land in the real world.

Mooly Beeri

Mooly Beeri

With close to three decades of experience in the software industry, I've dedicated my career to transforming how large companies approach software development. On my journey I’ve worked with tech giants like Microsoft, Mercedes, Roche, and Philips, where I've deployed my expertise in software excellence and DevOps.

My passion is empowering C-level executives and engineering leaders to drive meaningful change within their organizations by helping identify bottlenecks and gain transformative visibility into their software development lifecycle. It’s always what you can’t see that holds you back, and that’s exactly where traditional Agile methodologies fail short.

This widespread lack of visibility into the bottlenecks in the development process affects countless enterprises, which is why I developed the BetterSoftware Excellence Framework—to drive revolutionary efficiency in software development. Its unparalleled, unified ranking system allows organizations to dramatically optimize software improvement and drive long-term growth.

A testament to the BetterSoftware Excellence framework is when I built the first ever Software Center of Excellence for Royal Philips. The framework not only helped the organization map its current standing but also guided a three-year plan for continual improvement, setting professional improvement goals for every employee. It became the long-term method of software management at the company.

After I got Philips on track, I went on to become the Head of Software Transformation at Aptiv. By employing the framework throughout the company, I set standards and plans that guided more than 3,000 software engineers, helping position Aptiv as a leader in the automotive software industry.

My professional ethos is simple: software excellence is not just about better code—it must start with a complete understanding of the software development lifecycle from end-to-end. Once you can measure the effectiveness of every step in your development process throughout every department in your organization, you will know how to take action. The insights that come from totalized end-to-end measurement pinpoints where to invest and where to optimize. This clarity allows for better tools, better processes, better teams, and ultimately better businesses.

Let’s connect! I look forward to exploring how we can get your software development process on track for long-term success.
