Description

Agile Delivery Lead & Scrum Master | End-to-End Delivery Ownership | SAFe | Scrum | Kanban

You need delivery that actually moves - predictable releases, aligned teams, and stakeholders who aren't chasing updates. That's where I come in.

I'm an Agile Delivery Lead with 10+ years of experience, including 5 years in software development and 5 years leading cross-functional agile teams in complex, customer-driven environments. Based in Ghent, I work with product companies, scale-ups, and enterprises in Belgium looking for hands-on delivery leadership - not just facilitation.

What I bring to your project:

At Qorvo (Belgium), I owned end-to-end delivery for Smart Home/IoT products - from PI Planning to production releases. I cut release cycles from 3 to 2 weeks, improved sprint predictability by ~20%, and reduced defect resolution time by ~50% in an earlier role. I don't just run ceremonies; I fix the flow, align the stakeholders, and make commitments stick.

Where I add value:

Agile transformations and team coaching (Scrum, Kanban, SAFe)

Delivery management: roadmaps, dependency tracking, risk management, release planning

Stakeholder alignment between Product, Engineering, and customers

DORA metrics, continuous improvement, and data-informed retrospectives

Change management using ADKAR, Prosci, and Kotter frameworks

Typical engagements:

Scrum Master or Agile Coach embeds, Delivery Lead missions, SAFe program support, agile maturity assessments, or short-term delivery rescue for teams struggling with predictability or release cadence.

I hold a CSM, SAFe Agilist 6.0, and an Oxford Women's Leadership Development certification. I bring both the methodology depth and the delivery pragmatism to make agile work in practice - not just on paper.

Let's talk if you need someone who can own delivery, not just observe it.
