I like organizations and the complex mechanisms that govern them. From business architectures to processes, from words to behaviors, I deal with business change. As an Agile Coach, I combine the Agile Manifesto principles with specific expertise and experience in medium to significant realities and transformation processes. I am pragmatic and concrete-oriented. I believe that:
- People can change; they do not oppose change but offer their vision. To be respected.
- Needs are the basis of behavior; if I want to help, I must allow them to be expressed clearly. And I must be the first to state my needs.
- Ideological battles are meaningless; it matters more to understand the problem and what can be done to solve it.

I'm a Renaissance man trapped in a specialist's body. I started as a biologist. That's why I became an IT guy. I love science, but it doesn't pay the bills. I've been an IT professional for many years. I was a software developer with an elegant language for a more civilized age. I became a Quality Assurance Analyst because it's better to give than receive. I have been a process improvement specialist because it's easier to negotiate with a terrorist than a Methodologist. I've worked as a Scrum Master and Agile Coach. I have drunk the Kool-Aid, and it tastes good. I'm currently focusing on writing and speaking. Agile is a philosophy, not a methodology. In interviews, people ask how long have you been Agile. My answer is always. I didn't know what to call it before.
