Esau Boen
Independent Agile & Operational Business Consultant
I'm an independent consultant specialising in agile transformation and project and operations management. My portfolio spans startups through enterprise, helping business owners, CEOs, and entire organisations gain real clarity on how they operate.
I have supported the organisation of international agile summits, delivered workshops at Nike ELC and hold multiple certifications across Scrum, SAFe, Obeya and project management.
Now I’m excited to channel my wealth of knowledge and experience toward startups and mid-sized companies. I've found that in these settings, the application of Agile best practices can yield significant positive impacts in a shorter timeframe.
