Terence Lonsdale
Product Owner | Program Manager | Scrum Master
I've been utilizing Agile practices for over two decades. Actively mentoring others on their agile mindset journey is what gets me out of bed bright and early everyday.
I lean into technology and tools to help find value, but it's the team made up of unique individuals that ultimately deliver the end solution and create the value for the customer.
I relish the challenge of working with organizations to quantify problems and formulate optimal solutions.
I use a fact based approach to tackling projects and problems at work and home. My greatest joy, other than my kids, is all the great people I've had an opportunity to work with in delivering amazing solutions.
Over 30 Years Experience Delivering Outstanding Solutions to Great Organizations.
