Steve is an Agile coach and Dev team manager with a hands-on background building high quality software.
He's been exposed to many different ways of working: with experience at startups and enterprises, from entirely local to entirely distributed teams, in industries as far ranging as Travel, Fashion, Finance, Mapping, Tech, and Advertising. Through this he has developed a great appreciation for the intricacies of changing how people and organisations work, and has a wide range of success stories (and failures!) to draw on.
Outside of work, Steve likes running, cross-country skiing, and driving his family mad with home renovation projects.
