Companies start looking for a Chief of Staff when the business is growing, but execution isn’t keeping up. You have direction, you have priorities - but turning that into clear plans, ownership, and consistent follow-through is where things break down. That’s where I step in - I work directly with founders and leadership teams to take strategy, and make it real across the business. • Turning direction into clear plans and timelines • Establishing ownership and accountability across teams • Driving cross-functional execution without creating drag • Surfacing risks early and bringing solutions, not just problems I'm most effective when: • Priorities exist, but don’t translate into execution • Initiatives start strong but lose momentum • The founder is the bottleneck for decisions and direction • The business feels harder to run than it should Within the first 30 days: • Priorities stabilize and translate into execution • Ownership is clear across key initiatives • Work moves forward without constant escalation • Leadership has visibility into what’s actually happening My role is simple - bring structure, pace, and follow-through so the business can scale without all the chaos. If that’s the gap you’re trying to close, we should talk.

With over 20+ years of IT and digital transformation experience, I have worked as a highly skilled Senior Digital Program Manager, SAFe Release Train Engineer (RTE), Technology Solution Manager, Agile Coach, and Business Analyst, partnering with leading global organizations such as IKEA Sweden, IBM Global, Decathlon IT, Cushman & Wakefield, Jumio Corporation, and more recently with Ragu AI on enterprise AI platform delivery. I am also designated with the Top Talent badge on Upwork, placing me among the top 3% of freelancers, with 6,000+ hours of successful delivery across global clients and complex digital transformation programs. I am proud to be a University Gold Medalist, blogger, and keynote speaker, and I bring strong expertise in managing complex, business-critical programs across domains, distributed teams, and multiple geographies. Over the years, I have been recognized multiple times as a star performer by C-suite stakeholders for my delivery leadership, stakeholder management, and ability to build alignment across business and technology teams. I also bring solid hands-on experience across Gantt, ClickUp, Jira (including Advanced Roadmaps), Monday, Slack, and Confluence, with over 10 years of usage across enterprise delivery environments. On the technology side, I have worked closely with teams across Python, Java, React, and C++, and have also led delivery initiatives involving Computer Vision, Artificial Intelligence, and Machine Learning. Recent AI / Enterprise Delivery Experience Ragu AI – Enterprise AI Platform Delivery Most recently, I have been leading delivery and product operations for an enterprise AI platform focused on knowledge-grounded assistants and a multi-tenant SaaS architecture. My responsibilities include roadmap execution, sprint planning, engineering governance, stakeholder management, and cross-functional delivery across platform hardening, AI capabilities, DevOps, and customer onboarding initiatives. I have been driving the implementation of scalable AI workflows, enterprise integrations, delivery processes, and governance mechanisms to support secure, production-ready deployments and multi-client rollouts of AI-powered solutions. Cushman & Wakefield – Digital Transformation / Product & Program Delivery At Cushman & Wakefield, I have been involved in enterprise product and digital transformation initiatives, working closely with stakeholders on technology delivery, AI-led solution discussions, workflow/process improvements, roadmap planning, and execution governance. My work has included coordinating across business teams, engineering, and leadership to drive delivery alignment, streamline operational processes, and support the rollout of strategic product and technology initiatives in a complex enterprise environment. I've spent the last few years acting as the bridge between founders, engineering teams, product managers, customer success, finance, and external stakeholders—ensuring execution stays on track while leadership focuses on strategic priorities. Project Achievements I am particularly proud of two major digital initiatives at Decathlon India, where I led the complete software engineering workflow and product rollout from scratch for Decathlon App and AllForSport. Building a social network and sports engagement platform was new for Decathlon and represented an important step in their omnichannel transformation journey. The initiative involved significant ambiguity, evolving business requirements, and continuous prioritization of what would deliver the most impact. I played a key role in defining business requirements, creating use cases, right-scoping launches, managing Agile delivery, and coordinating with third-party integrators and support systems. Over the course of one year, we successfully launched 4 major and 6 minor releases, delivering measurable business outcomes: 30% improvement in team lead time / productivity 10,000+ app downloads Peak sales revenue of USD 30,000/day App rating above 4.5 40,000+ registered users 30% repeat customers 1,000+ activities hosted on the platform This was a significant milestone in Decathlon’s digital and online revenue journey, especially during the Covid period, as the company accelerated its transition toward scalable omnichannel and community-led digital experiences. Across my career, I have consistently operated at the intersection of business strategy, product delivery, Agile execution, stakeholder management, and technology leadership. I am comfortable stepping into roles that require program setup, delivery governance, backlog and roadmap planning, client communication, process optimization, vendor coordination, and driving execution across globally distributed teams. My ability to combine strategic thinking with hands-on delivery execution allows me to quickly add value in fast-moving, high-ambiguity environments.

Agile coach hiring guide

Hiring an Agile coach can accelerate how your teams deliver value. From introducing Scrum to a single team to scaling SAFe across an enterprise, the right coach helps build sustainable Agile practices that improve delivery speed, team morale, and stakeholder alignment.

What does an Agile coach do?

An Agile coach helps teams, departments, or entire organizations adopt and scale Agile methodologies. Their work spans team facilitation, leadership mentoring, process improvement, and cultural change. Depending on the scope, they may work as an Agile team facilitator focused on one or two squads, an Agile coach across several departments, or an enterprise Agile coach driving organization-wide transformation.

Typical activities for Agile coaches include:

  • Guide Agile adoption. Introduce frameworks like Scrum, Kanban, or SAFe
  • Coach teams and leaders. Build knowledge of Agile principles, roles, and best practices
  • Improve team performance. Identify bottlenecks and optimize workflows
  • Facilitate key ceremonies. Run sprint planning, retrospectives, and standups
  • Support cultural change. Promote collaboration, transparency, and continuous improvement

How to hire an Agile coach on Upwork

Upwork connects you with Agile coaches who have verified work history, positive client reviews, and real-time availability. Upwork's platform has facilitated more than $25 billion in economic opportunity for talent around the world, connecting businesses with experienced professionals across thousands of skills. Follow these steps to find the right fit for your team.

Step 1: Post a job

A clear job post helps Agile coaches understand your organization's goals, current challenges, and the support you need.

  • Describe your current Agile maturity, business goals, and the teams or departments involved
  • Define the engagement, such as Agile transformation, team coaching, Scrum implementation, leadership coaching, or process improvement
  • Identify the frameworks, tools, and methodologies you use, such as Scrum, Kanban, SAFe, Jira, or Azure DevOps
  • Share your timeline, budget, success metrics, and expected deliverables
  • Reference this Agile coach job description template as a starting point

To move faster, use the Job Post Generator powered by Uma™, Upwork's Mindful AI. Describe your needs in a few sentences and Uma will draft a tailored Agile coach job post that you can review, customize, and publish. On Upwork, the time from job post to first proposal is only three hours.

Step 2: Evaluate candidates

As proposals begin to arrive, review candidates for evidence that they've successfully coached teams and delivered measurable organizational improvements.

  • Confirm experience coaching Agile teams, product owners, Scrum Masters, or engineering leaders
  • Review transformation case studies that demonstrate measurable improvements in delivery, collaboration, or team performance
  • Evaluate certifications such as Professional Scrum Master (PSM), Certified Scrum Professional (CSP), SAFe Program Consultant (SPC), or ICAgile (ICP-ACC)
  • Read client feedback for facilitation skills, communication, and successful organizational change

Uma can conduct instant video interviews and provide side-by-side candidate comparisons to help you identify the strongest fit.

Step 3: Interview top choices

Use interviews to understand how candidates coach teams, influence stakeholders, and measure long-term success.

  • Ask how they’d approach resistance to Agile adoption or organizational change
  • Discuss how they've coached product owners, Scrum Masters, engineering managers, or leadership teams
  • Explore how they measure success beyond velocity, including delivery outcomes, collaboration, and customer value
  • Reference these Agile coach interview questions for additional scenarios
  • Consider a short paid workshop or Agile assessment before committing to a longer engagement

Conduct interviews through Upwork Messages, where Uma provides transcripts and summaries after each call.

Step 4: Agree on scope and begin work

Before work begins, align on deliverables, milestones, and success measures so everyone shares the same expectations.

  • Define deliverables such as Agile assessments, coaching plans, workshop materials, process recommendations, or transformation roadmaps
  • Set milestones for assessments, team coaching, leadership workshops, implementation, and follow-up reviews
  • Agree on coaching cadence, stakeholder participation, success metrics, and progress reviews
  • Choose a fixed-price or hourly contract that matches the scope and duration of the engagement

Use Upwork's contract workroom and Messages to keep feedback, documents, and approvals organized in one place. Identity verification, Hourly Payment Protection, hourly tracking, and project funds help keep the engagement secure and on track, while Uma can summarize conversations and help track milestones and next steps.

Frequently asked questions

Is hiring an Agile coach worth it?

For many organizations, yes, hiring an Agile coach is worth it. The Agile coach helps teams improve delivery practices, strengthen collaboration, and build sustainable Agile processes that support long-term improvement. The greatest impact comes when the organization has clear goals and leadership support.

How long does an Agile coaching engagement take?

The length of time for an Agile coaching engagement depends on scope and team maturity. Coaching a single team is usually a shorter, focused engagement while an organization-wide transformation is a longer commitment. Some companies keep a coach on staff to support continuous improvement across multiple teams over time.

What certifications should an Agile coach have?

When hiring an Agile coach, look for SAFe Program Consultant (SPC), Professional Scrum Master (PSM), and ICAgile (ICP-ACC) certifications. Pair those checks with a portfolio review since hands-on transformation experience generally matters more than credentials alone.

What's the difference between an Agile coach and a Scrum Master?

An Agile coach helps multiple teams and leaders improve Agile practices, organizational processes, and ways of working across the business. A Scrum Master focuses on a single Scrum team, facilitating ceremonies, removing obstacles, and helping the team follow the Scrum framework. Organizations often hire Agile coaches to guide broader transformations, while Scrum Masters support day-to-day team execution.
