Born and raised in the Netherlands, Tommy van Schaik found out early that his natural habitat was between business and IT. After getting his bachelor's and master's in Business & IT, he decided to join the Dutch Air Force as a Communications Systems Officer. During his last tour in the United States, he found his love for agile transitions and dealing with development teams. He quickly transitioned to the Civilian world to do what he loves best: helping organizations transition to future-proof states. Apart from management consultancy, Tommy also believes that legitimate agile coaches also need to be there on the front lines to assist organizations in executing their digital transition. Whenever Tommy has time left between his family, job, and Pluralsight, you can find him either traveling the world, in a ring, or on a basketball court.
