I consider myself to be an Agile and Lean Enthusiast navigating Automotive Transformation challenges and helping OEMs and Tier 1 Suppliers to deliver business value faster. With courage, passion and delight I drive Agility in the most complex environment of automotive embedded systems.
My vision is to help Automotive industry to reinvent itself and solve its toughest challenges by tapping into the power of Lean-Agile Transformation.
My mission is to be a strong change agent and to generate a critical mass of Lean and Agile leaders, capable to drive the change in Automotive by creating empowered cross-functional self-organizing teams, embracing the concept of value stream and flow and taking an active role in removing transformation roadblocks.
Dedicating my entire career path Automotive challenges, I started my agile journey at the Daimler's corporate incubator and innovation hub "Daimler Business Innovation", known as "Lab 1886”. Later on I was a strong catalyst of Scaled Agile Transformation at the Digital Solution Center at Mercedes-Benz Financial Services USA, bringing energy, fun and delight to the first Agile Release Train. After that as part of Engineering leadership team I shaped Lean-Agile Transformation journey for Advanced Safety and User Experience product line at Aptiv, helping large co-located and distributed engineering program teams to leverage the benefits of lean and agile principles in complex embedded system environment.

I would love to promote agility in such a complex environment as automotive to a broader audience in order to encourage agilists around the world not to give up challenging transformations.
