Insperity
Sr. Agile Project Manager / Scrum Master
Houston, Texas

https://insperity.com

I'm an Agile Project Manager with 20+ year in IT project management; Last 9 years have been focused on leading agile teams. My interest rests in team development/empowerment, portfolio/enterprise concepts, coaching/mentoring techniques, and exploring creative ways to influence agile teams to work smarter, not harder. Agile is not a method or process, it’s a mindset.
