Gaël Rebmann
Convinced that play, fun and enjoyment are essential for learning and working properly, I told myself that I had to make my job fit this idea. So I logically hesitated for a long time between a career as an accountant and a comedian, I even almost became Fun Sheriff but it was already taken… So I became an Agile Coach and I got to draw funny pictures and get paid to play… Among other things…
Mike Kaufman
Mike has over 20 years of experience in the software industry, from developer to manager to quality and project management. But none of that matters when it comes to people, the one thing that Mike has discovered is at the root of his passions. The agile “bug” bit Mike early in 2007 and he has been swimming in the deep waters ever since. Through many different types of education, introspection, personal development, and self learning, Mike has found himself as an accredited Organizational, Relationship, and Systems Certified Coach (ORSCC), an International Coaching Federation (ICF) accredited Associate Certified Coach (ACC), and many other certified something-or-other. Through this, Mike works with leaders, teams, families, couples, and other systems to improve teamwork and communication by focusing on the most basic foundation – the underlying relationship. Mike helps people (re-)discover, build, and grow their connection to others.

Liana Baciu
I am on a mission to empower people through information, connection and collaboration. Games are a unique way to do all of the above, regardless of audience, and they are some of my best tools to impart agility to newcomers. I’m excited to see and hear what we create together this year! I hope to learn a lot from you 🙂
When I’m not mixing and mingling, you can find me coaching at RBC Digital. Some key hashtags that apply to me are digital transformation, design systems, devops, (de)scaling, payment systems, change management, compliance, ehealth, digital marketing, finance, recruitment, insurance, e-commerce, non-profit.
Otherwise I have two hilarious corgies and about 100 plants.
