ABOUT GEOFF THOMSON

I’m an Agile Delivery Leader with 25+ years in technology and 8+ years driving enterprise-scale Agile transformation across financial services, SaaS, and cloud delivery environments. I thrive at the intersection of business strategy, engineering execution, and stakeholder alignment—helping organisations scale Agile practices without losing sight of governance, compliance, or customer value. Enterprise Transformation: Shaped and embedded Agile operating models, established Agile Centres of Excellence, and led “teams of teams” through complex change and transformation. Scaled Delivery Leadership: Facilitated Big Room & PI Planning, improved dependency management across 10+ squads, and aligned product and architectural roadmaps to strategic OKRs. Metrics & Predictability: Introduced repeatable planning/estimation and delivery dashboards (burndown, velocity, retrospectives), lifting predictability to >90% and enabling data-driven prioritisation. Technical & SaaS Fluency: Delivered enterprise SaaS rollouts, AEM & Azure migrations, and DevSecOps pipeline enablement, ensuring scalability, resilience, and regulatory compliance. People & Coaching: Built high-performing, outcome-focused teams through Agile coaching, mentoring, and fostering psychological safety—enabling innovation, collaboration, and continuous improvement.I’m passionate about helping organisations deliver at scale with agility, using data-driven insights and pragmatic frameworks to optimise capacity planning, remove delivery friction, and accelerate business outcomes.
