+> //"Hans is one of the most experienced and polished transformation coaches I have had the blessing of working with. His focus is on the true principles of running an effective, lean, customer driven IT organization, not just the stuff you read in the Scrum Guide. His empathetic and experienced aura has been vital to our work with senior executive leadership, many of whom often refer back to lessons he taught them along our transformation journey.//

+> //On the human side, Hans is an amazing individual who has blessed me with great mentoring and the occasional moment of radical candor. :) I feel blessed to have worked alongside him and I hope to stay close, as I know I will continue to need his mentoring as time goes on.//

-<WRAP column 45% right>“Hans is considered one of the best Agile coaches I had to pleasure to work with. He helped shape our Agile transformation and move to a product driven organization. His excellent Agile experience & perspectives helped me to accel my own Agile transformation but also provided key information to help leaders and all levels of the organization in their own Agile transformation. He is considered a great mentor, working partner, and leader. It was great to have worked with him for more than 3 years. He has provided so much knowledge & documentation that we will find his material highly valued for many more years to come. I highly recommend Hans to help in any Agile transformation.”
