ABOUT
I’M MARTIN: CONSULTANT, COACH, SPEAKER & ASKER OF AWKWARD QUESTIONS
I’m an Agile Transformation Consultant based in Brighton & Hove, working with organisations across the UK, Europe and globally to redesign how work flows, how decisions get made and how teams scale. I do it in a way that treats people as the point of the system. Not just a resource inside it.
WHAT I’M KNOWN FOR
Clarity in messy systems. Facilitation that gets the real conversation into the room. And a stubborn, evidence-backed belief that the kindest way of working and the most effective one are usually the same thing.
10+ years across agile coaching, business transformation and leadership consulting
Professional Scrum Master III, held by fewer than 1,500 practitioners worldwide, and Professional Scrum Product Owner II
Experience across global banking, automotive, FMCG and academia
Deep facilitation, coaching, operating model and product experience
Languages: Work fluent in English and German, conversational in Italian
WHAT I BRING
WHAT I BELIEVE
Real agility isn’t a framework installation. It’s how people make decisions, learn from reality and deliver value without slowly burying themselves in coordination.
And people are not the soft side of transformation. They are the system. Structures, cadences and metrics only work when the humans inside them feel safe enough to tell the truth.
I’m German, Brighton-based, he/him, and neurodivergent. My ADHD is part of why I see systems the way I do. I’m a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community and an advocate for workplaces where difference is an asset rather than a rounding error. I have been a swimmer since childhood. Coaching is not just my job, it’s my passion, which is why I am also a swimming coach for my local team. When I’m not in the pool, you’ll probably find me in the kitchen, where I love to cook and enjoy good food with a good pairing of a fine glass of wine.
LET’S TALK
If you’re facing the kind of problems I can help with, or you think we’d enjoy working together, come and say hello.
