Christian worked for me as SCRUM Master in 3-4 agile teams for more than a year. I was implementing SCRUM as a development method in my department and decided that we needed to focus on getting agile values and mindset among employees as well. Christian ensured that we got agile processes up and running in all teams. He constantly motivated the teams to challenge old habits and strive for more agility. The teams got incrementally more and more self-confident and Christian handed over the SCRUM Master responsibility and tasks to other members in the teams before leaving in a very nice way. I can highly recommend Christian as a consultant and change agent for anyone interested in implementing an agile mindset in their organization.

Nice student job, where I was working as an IT supporter. My primary tasks were to set up computers, printers and network. IT was good, but I preferred to work in the development department. I tried to change but as a student worker I was not allowed. So I had to move on... (but a friend got my job in IT) Nice student job, where I was working as an IT supporter.
