Hello, I’m Emily. I’m an Agile delivery and organisation consultant, trainer and coach. I used to be the Head of Agile Delivery at Government Digital Service (GDS) and have been independent since 2014.
I work with public and private sector clients helping them focus on the right environments for people to create effective digital transformation.
I have a lot of ongoing new and interesting personal and professional projects. Check them out in the links below.
