About the founder, Patty
As an Agile Coach at global pharmaceutical companies for several years, I lead the adoption of Agile frameworks to enhance team collaboration, self-organization, and operational transparency. I work closely with cross-functional teams and external Agile Coaches to optimize workflows and deliver value across the organization.
My journey into Agile coaching is rooted in a 20-year career spanning biodefense microbiology, molecular biology, biotechnology, and pharmaceuticals—with a detour through the CA wine industry. This scientific foundation, paired with multiple coaching certifications, allows me to foster high-performing teams that are both technically sharp and emotionally intelligent.
But my story isn’t just professional—it’s deeply personal. Like many, the Covid-19 pandemic upended my world. I was thrust into a full-time remote role while caring for my young daughter without daycare or preschool. The support structures I had carefully built collapsed. Years of managing anxiety and depression culminated in an ADHD diagnosis that reframed everything. Amid the chaos, I found clarity in Agile—specifically Scrum. A framework I had instinctively used for years suddenly had a name, and its principles helped me rebuild both professionally and personally.
What began as coaching a single pre-clinical drug development team evolved into guiding multiple teams, leaders, and individuals. I now integrate Agile principles into my home life, parenting, and relationships—because agility isn’t just for work; it’s a mindset for navigating complexity with grace.
Today, I bring that lived experience to every coaching engagement. Whether you're a team struggling to collaborate, a leader navigating change, or a parent feeling overwhelmed—I’ve likely walked a version of your path. It would be a privilege to partner with you, your family, or your organization to co-create meaningful solutions.
Together, we’ll tap into your strengths, build confidence, and design a future that feels aligned and achievable. Because transformation doesn’t have to be daunting—it just needs a clear light to guide the way.
