Some call me an “agile rockstar” 🤘, others a “product powerhouse” ⚡, I prefer "passionate leader" with a knack for getting things done (and having fun while doing it !).
As a Senior Agile Coach and Product Manager at Spotify with 20+ years of experience, I'm here to turn "what ifs" into "Ah Ah" !

I've navigated the software industry trenches from the very first Dotcom startups to today key players, as a product champion, a team manager and an agile evangelist. From mastering frameworks like Scrum, Kanban or Lean StartUp to scaling agile, fostering collaborative cultures, I've seen it in all places (and done quite a lot!!!). So, when I say I can create environments where teamwork hums, transparency shines, and efficiency breaks records, you can bet on me. But don't let the process fool you - I'm all about empowering individuals. Think continuous learning, fearless experimentation, and a contagious "can-do" spirit. Witnessing teams unlock their agile lightbulb moments and propel products, teams, and businesses to success? That's my fuel!

Speaking of sharing the love, I'm a regular speaker at lean agile and product conferences. Think captivating stories, practical examples, and a healthy dose of "been there, failed that and learned this" wisdom.

Pascal Brunner

Pascal Brunner

👋🏽I am a Microsoft Most Valuable Professionals (MVP) in M365 Apps & Services in Switzerland and would like to take you with me on my journey in Microsoft 365. I share exciting insights, tips & tricks and other relevant topics with you through my posts on LinkedIn and on my personal blog.

🥸Let's deep dive

🏒Since I was six years old, I have been passionate about playing ice hockey. A game that you can not win single-handedly. Although it takes the individual class of each & every one, you can only be successful as a team. Perseverance, discipline, team spirit and never losing the fun in the matter are the key points for success. These qualities are still valid for me and for all life situations.

💪🏾In life, as in business, success is based on action: successful people move forward.

❤️In my role at Campana & Schott, I guide and consult my customers on how to maximize their use of Microsoft 365. For me, M365 is much more than Teams or SharePoint, it is about implementing the cross-platform approach appropriately. Therefore, the main topics I focus on are Modern Work, Employee Experience and the Power Platform.

🦸🏼Additionally, it is an important concern for me that the Microsoft partner landscape is as diverse as possible. As a member of the Marvellous 8 at Women in Tech by IAMCP Switzerland, we pursue exactly this goal.

🤝I'm always happy to make new connections on LinkedIn, so feel free to follow me and leave a message. It doesn't matter if you have a question about M365, the next project is coming up or just want to have a virtual coffee together - let's meet!

🤩 Let's connect - I'm looking forward to the exchange.
