SMAbout Sarah
I help startups and SMEs keep delivery sharp as they grow.
You don’t need a full-time Agile Coach or a heavyweight framework. What you need is the right level of structure, at the right time, to stop small problems snowballing.
I’ve spent years coaching product and technology teams inside large organisations. I’ve seen what works and what slows teams down when ways of working don’t evolve quickly enough. Now I bring that experience to early-stage and scaling companies who want to move fast without losing clarity.
How I work:
100% remote, flexible to fit your schedule.
No jargon, no cookie-cutter framework.
Focused on practical fixes that make a measurable difference.
If you’re scaling and the way of working behind the scenes isn’t keeping up, I can help you stay aligned and move faster with less friction.
