Profile
I’m a multi-disciplined agile certified product owner/scrum master, with a background of 10+ years in traditional and agile project management with international teams.
Sharing knowledge and achieving goals with a no-nonsense approach are one of my strongest characteristics. I like to be in the middle of the action, tackle complex situations and get the best results out of team collaboration. You can see me as the empathetic glue between end-users and development from idea till delivery. A good package for delivering software, projects and goals within time, budget and joy.Name : Mark Konings
