ABOUT ME

I’m Martin (he/him), a German living in Brighton, UK. I work with teams and organisations to create more inclusive, accessible, and actually agile cultures. Not the checkbox kind; the kind that delivers real value, early and often, without leaving neurodivergent folks (like myself) behind.

Whether you’re an independent business or a multinational corporate organisation, I’m here to help transform your business models and methods through coaching and consulting. I’ll tailor my support to meet your unique needs and goals, helping you create an authentic, inclusive and productive working environment for your team or organisation. And what’s more, I’ll do it with enthusiasm, efficiency and compassion.

“Martin has transformed our ways of working, helping us break up complex challenges into bite size pieces. What’s more, his energy and enthusiasm made the journey hugely enjoyable!”

I BELIEVE IN PEOPLE.

It’s not rocket science: happy people make happy teams. But all too often the opportunity for integrity, authenticity and enjoyment in the workplace is stripped away in favour of efficiency, productivity and KPI-centric results. 

It’s why I believe in Agile: that in creating a liberating, adaptive way of working, we can harness the unique expertise and mindset of every individual team member.

I specialise in creating inclusive working cultures, with a focus on psychological safety for all. That’s why my work is rooted in values-led leadership, creating environments where no one has to mask to belong.

“Martin is the embodiment of the Agile mindset. He is exceptionally talented, and his sharp analytical mind combined with his extraordinary emotional intelligence and empathy make him a great asset to any company.”

HOW CAN I HELP?

A decade of expertise.
Tailored to suit you.

I work with clients to scope, define, and implement projects from inception to delivery, tailoring my approach to suit the needs of every individual, organisation and industry. Book in for a free 30 minute kick-off conversation, and let’s get started.

Agile Consultancy

It’s not enough to expect teams and practices to run on survival mode. People deserve to professionally thrive. All of us. Every single team member. No matter who I’m working with, the industry I’m working within, or the challenges you’re facing, I use an Agile approach to transform my clients’ ways of working, keeping people at the heart of everything they plan to scope and achieve.

Business Coaching

Are you an individual looking to upskill and develop your potential? Maybe you need support whilst setting up a new business, expanding your services, or growing a team. Or perhaps you don’t really know what the problem is, you just know that you need some help working out where things are getting stuck. Whatever your goals, I’m here to help.

Events & Training

Learning is all about human connection. Whether working in person with an in-house team or offering advice and insights at conferences and industry events, there’s nothing like getting together in a room - however big or small - and talking in person. I offer a range of expertly-curated workshops, seminars and training packages, created to help instil a more agile, dynamic working mindset.

With over a decade of experience, I’ve worked across a wide range of industries, including: global banking; automotive; fast-moving consumer goods; and large academic institutions, helping to develop products in complex and fast-changing environments. It’s this that’s allowed me to build up a wealth of skills and qualifications.

I pride myself on my human-centric approach above all else. It’s why my clients have come to expect not just a highly-specialised level of support tailored to their unique needs, but integrity, compassion and genuine enthusiasm baked into everything we do together.

QUALIFICATIONS      

& EXPERIENCE

As a Professional Scrum Master III and Professional Scrum Product Owner, I integrate Scrum, Kanban, LeSS, Lean, and other key principles into my models of working. If you have questions or specific requirements with regards to my specialisms, I’d be delighted to discuss how I might be best placed to support you.

“Martin is a fantastic teacher and mentor. With his enthusiastic, open minded and positive nature he is a real asset for every project.”
