Laurens Bonnema

I am an Agile Trainer & Management Consultant and a mentor to leaders creating resilient organizations at any scale. I have a strong background in IT and experience in almost every role. I take great pride in my work, which shows in the recommendations I have received over the years.

I help leaders improve software delivery, marketing, finance, and HR by merging classic and agile management. I am the co-author of three books: "The Professional Agile Leader," "Inspiring Project Management with Agile," and "50 FAQs of a Scrum Master."

I bring my experience in enterprise IT since 1999 and on Scrum Teams since 2006 to my teaching, am a driving force in the Agile community, and a sought-after speaker at conferences and events. 

I am a professional enthusiast for hand lettering, sketchnoting, graphic recording, podcasting, and writing. I have tried to attain work-life balance only to discover that work-life swirling suits me better.

I am fluent in Dutch, English, and Spanish, and speak passable French and German.

I live in Dordrecht, The Netherlands, with my wife Nienke and son Mark.
