Bio
Alan Mahon
I've been working with Aram for the past 3 years delivering a complex and challenging eGov Program. I found his work ethic and technical knowhow exemplary. During our time working together he's led a number of high value initiatives always understanding the initiative objectives and business value and managed the teams throughout - always delivering to an extremely high standard. Aside from the initiative he was responsible for he set himself a mission to improve the organisations maturity against Agile Practices and influenced significant change in the orgs ways of working - always taking a lead role and providing coaching at all levels. He's a true team player and Agile Specialist.

Aram is a real leader who can organize a work for any big team: every time a clear board/clear tasks/understanding where we are and what is next. Amazing Agile skills and showing metrics which can be very useful for any project. Any company will win a lot if Aram will select them!
