Robert Briese

CEO & Certified LeSS Trainer

As the CEO of Lean Sherpas and a Certified Large-Scale Scrum (LeSS) Trainer and Coach, I introduce others to large-scale development. With knowledge gained in recent years, we create superior learning experiences and arm agile practitioners with tools that really matter. Tools that can be applied straight away and that make all the difference.I work with start-ups and organizations (Yello, Ringier, GIZ) to bring innovative products to the market in the shortest possible time. Large organizations (SAP, BMW, Adidas) also hire me to optimize their teams’ adaptability to growing challenges – through an agile way of working and through an organizational redesign.

Robert is one of 25 certified LeSS Trainers globally and one of the few with hands-on experience in LeSS and LeSS Huge. As a change agent for 15+ years, consulting and coaching, he has worked with over 30 companies, including DAX-listed global brands such as Adidas, BMW, BP, Dr. Oetker, Henkel, Hilti, Hugo Boss, SAP, Volkswagen, and ZF.

From 2015 to 2016 he led a LeSS adoption at a Global Player in the Software Industry, scaling development from 3 to 7 teams and coaching the development and the management team on how to lead a scaled agile organization. In 2018 he contributed to significant improvements in product delivery at one of the biggest LeSS Huge adoptions in the world at BMW AG. Working with over 30 teams, including large groups of over 400 employees, he led them to deliver bi-weekly product increments consisting of hardware and software.
