Guiding teams to thrive with empathy and agility, one thoughtful conversation at a time.

Lead & Enterprise Agile Coach at Reaktor•Espoo, Uusimaa, Finland

Professional Overview

Background: I grew up in China, and speak 5 languages (English, Swedish, Finnish, Spanish, and Mandarin Chinese) and have lived in 6 countries. I am a certified brain-based coach, certified in LeSS, SAFe, Certified Agile leadership, and Scrum (SM and PO) as well as Sociocracy 3.0. My first scrum project was in 2008, and since been building and facilitating change in teams, departments and organisations.

Key Strengths

"I've got a knack for bridging the gap between technical and non-technical teams, which I honed during my first project in China. I took complex Scrum methodologies and made them accessible to everyone involved, ensuring seamless collaboration and successful delivery."

"I thrive in dynamic environments and have a track record of turning chaotic projects into structured success stories, like I did with the cross-media software project at MTV Oy. I can quickly assess a situation, identify bottlenecks, and implement agile practices that lead to real results."

"I'm passionate about mentoring and empowering teams, something I've cultivated at Reaktor. I don't just enforce agile practices; I coach teams to understand and embrace them, which transforms productivity and morale."

"I excel at leading projects with a global scope, like the large software build challenge in China. My ability to adapt strategies to different cultural and business contexts ensures that projects not only meet their goals but also exceed expectations."

I started in 2008 as a Consultant. My first project took me to China and the world of Scrum, for a large software build challenge. I learned about agile and Scrum, about how to build the right things in the right way. In the last couple of years at Avaus marketing automation became the name of the game. In addition to learning about marketing automation, I was in charge of managing our own international teams. 3 teams in total in 2 different countries. How to build knowhow into new technology from scratch, how we work as teams both within the team and across teams. I was heading implementation and integration projects to enhance, improve or completely re-build the clients' marketing tactics and tools. I deal with everything from initial planning, resources to budgets and implementation. I also consult clients with their technical architecture, business, data and reporting requirements; everything from the big corporate level picture to the small details within the Salesforce Marketing cloud.
