About Leonardo Maximiliano

I don’t just implement frameworks; I build high-performance ecosystems that bridge the gap between technical execution and business strategy. With over 6 years of experience in Agile leadership and a foundational background in software development and business analysis, I specialize in navigating the complexities of Enterprise & Regulated Environments (Fintech, Healthtech, Insurtech).

What I bring to the table:

- Scaling Agility: Proven track record spearheading transitions from single-team Scrum to Large-Scale Scrum (LeSS) and SAFe, aligning multiple squads under a unified Product Backlog and vision.

- Technical Fluency & Hands-on approach: My past as a developer allows me to mentor teams on technical excellence. You can explore my technical journey and agile resources in my portfolio:
- Business Alignment: Leveraging my years as a Senior Business Analyst to ensure product discovery, roadmaps, and backlogs are perfectly aligned with stakeholder expectations and ROI.

- Data-Driven Leadership: I define shared standards and metrics dashboards (PowerBI, Jira) to improve predictability and quality across the organization.

Core Toolkit:

- Frameworks: LeSS, SAFe, Scrum, Kanban, XP.
- Management: Jira/Confluence (Admin level), Azure DevOps, PowerBI.
- Product: Backlog Management, MoSCoW, User Story Mapping, BDD.

I am passionate about fostering self-organization and removing the systemic impediments that slow down innovation. Whether it’s coaching Junior Scrum Masters or advising C-level stakeholders on agile transformations, my goal is always the same: delivering meaningful value, faster.
