Director, R7K Research & Conveyance
Over the years, I’ve spent a significant amount of time helping teams gain control over large code bases in C, C++, C#, Java, and Ruby. I was involved in the early Agile movement and one of my passions is helping organizations recognize the impact of their internal organization and communication on the long term viability of their software products – putting interactions in place to prevent the accumulation of technical debt and lost business opportunities.
Executive Agile Coach & Executive and Personal Coach
I’m an Executive and Business Agile coach, personal coach, storyteller and wishmaker. I combine play with business strategies and personal goals to bring about positive change. My pursuit to help people realise more of their potential has led to the pleasant yet all together unexpected discovery that play is essential for the lifelong development of adults and not only children. My practice-based research on play has led me to live a more playful life, so much so that I have managed to dream The School of Play into existence.

Founder @ Bracket
I founded Bracket to help teams work better together. People with roles that involve developing and delivering creative ideas need to collaborate with others on a daily basis to get things done. But this can be tricky – balancing individual skills with group effort, managing different personalities, turning ideas into action, communication, dealing with conflict and running productive meetings.
