I’ve worked closely with Wolfgang to accelerate Kantar’s transformation programme on Agile and DevOps across the organization. Wolfgang is a thought leader with a real deep understanding of business value and practical application of changes across the organization. He strikes the right balance between directing teams towards a change culture and helping team apply tactical and strategic changes. I would highly recommend Wolfgang for any agile transformation journey your organization may be undertaking given the expertise and experience he brings to the team. He has excellent communication skills and takes ownership of problems through to resolution with a can-do attitude. He pays attention to detail but can also see the bigger picture ensuring deadlines are met and any challenges are mitigated. He brings an air of positivity to meetings and creates a culture of collaboration amongst her peers. Great attitude and professionalism to work. Always helpful and not afraid to express his ideas and view. Its has been a pleasure to work with Wolfgang and I hope to collaborate with him again soon. A credit to any team and organization.
