Bio
Glenn Van Schil
I've had the pleasure of knowing Kateryna as a remarkable Scrum Master who prioritizes the team above all else. She doesn't force theoretic approaches from textbooks but instead takes the time to understand the team's dynamics. Kateryna schedules one-on-one sessions to attentively listen to each team member's concerns and ideas, and she comes up with proposals that are tailor-made for the team. Working with Kateryna has been a reassuring experience, as I always felt heard and supported in her team. Her people skills are exceptional, and she creates an environment where everyone feels valued and at their best. Thank you, Kate, for your incredible dedication to the team's well-being!
