Chad works with all levels of the organization to optimize your business to respond to change. He is passionate about moving organizations and people closer to agility.

His first experience with "agile", Scrum specifically, was in 2005. He was part of a global transformation team responsible for software customizations driven by a global consolidation of accounting software. He ran into typical implementation challenges and organizational impediments.

Around 2012, his passion for lean, agile, and continuous improvement grew. He left his traditional business analyst and project manager roles behind and evolved into an internal change agent kickstarting an agile transformation.
