As a director at a leading Agile+DevOps platform provider, my core responsibilities are to lead an autonomous, talented group of passionate consultants and coaches. My goal is to help bring them together as a team that focuses on ensuring our customers attain the goals of their Agile transformation goals and make the best use of the VersionOne platform. I work closely with our go-to-market teams throughout the product development and sales cycle. Activities include helping organizations articulate and substantiate transformation goals, the creation of implementation roadmaps, defining and negotiating statements of work, and, ultimately, driving a healthy pipeline of opportunities for the coaches to make our customers wildly successful.

As a consultant and coach, my responsibilities include mentoring and training customer executives, leadership, and team members on agile and lean principles and related practices. In addition to process and transformation coaching, I conduct training and workshops on agile, engineering practices, and VersionOne platform usage.

My other duties at VersionOne include working with product management, marketing, customer success, development, and hands-on technical activities when the need calls for it.
