Past Attendee Feedback
As a trainer, coach, consultant and author on Lean and Agile who has travelled four continents and worked with hundreds of companies worldwide, I've seldom found people with a deeper understanding of these topics than Andrea. She has treasured an incredible amount of experience transforming big and medium enterprises to continuously improve. I've worked with Andrea in projects at Europe and Israel, and I'm always looking forward to new opportunities to collaborate. She's definitively a powerful change agent and a thought leader who can transform your organization and move your culture to a new level.
Angel Medinilla (Agile Consultant, Trainer, Founder of Proyectalis)
Andrea coached and trained our Services mid-management team in Lean and Six Sigma practices over the period of 10 months in our offices in the UK, US and Hong Kong. She has a solid knowledge of Lean and Six Sigma principles and practices and she was able to transfer knowledge to our team effectively.
Andrea also developed training materials and delivered training on Lean for our Global Executive team.
The training gave a good introduction to the principles of lean via plenty of group discussions and games. Andrea's delivery style was easy to follow and professional.
Andrew G. (Head of Operations, Global Telecom)
Andrea and Ryan managed to facilitate the workshop without making me feel „lectured“. I really enjoyed this approach as it was based on an active dialogue in the group rather than a presented monologue.
Both are very knowledgeable and at the same time didn’t have the “I know best/all” attitude.
With their open and friendly personalities, both managed to build instant relationship and I felt very comfortable to share and learn from the others.

Short Bio
As a lean agile coach and trainer, Andrea works with organizations to become better sources of value by continuous improvement, rapid adaptation and collaborative learning. She has experience working within various sectors and with Fortune 500 multinationals across Europe, US, Canada and Asia, in any sector where mastering digital customer experiences are at the core of the business.
"While there is a lot of focus on practices and processes in Lean Agile transformations, I believe in the power of individuals to bring about change. When individuals start to question the status quo, change their own behaviours and inspire other team members to do so, then change happens." - says Andrea. She helps employees become closer to their customers and raises curiousity about their customers' daily context, their needs - as this is a valuable source of inspiration and eventually, innovation.
As managers/team leaders/coaches, it is our role to create the right environment, systems and boundaries to empower our talented teams of knowledge workers to strive & learn.
