Agile Coaching
A coach can save you time, money and the unnecessary stress and frustration that can come from introducing new processes into your organisation. For the best results we work alongside you on site.

Who we are
Simply put, Nomad8 is a home for consultants. But it’s a pretty special model—a unique organisation of like-minded and passionate people working together, for themselves and for each other.
One of NZ’s leading Agile coaches, Sandy is an accomplished presenter, published book author and former Olympic athlete. A force of positive energy, Sandy is hands-on, no-nonsense and steeped in Agile. She’s the co-author of “Creating Great Teams – How Self-Selection Lets People Excel” (Pragrog, 2015).
Agile Coach, trainer and presenter, book author and all round great guy. David brings a fresh and fun approach to coaching and facilitation.

Richard Scott-Will-Harknett

Anthony brings calm pragmatism to a project team. Tactfully navigating the ups and downs of corporate ridiculousness, Anthony can coach reluctant Agile appointees into a smoothly functioning dream team. He genuinely loves Lean UX.
A Digital Strategist with a strong agency background, Brenda is stealthily integrating Agile into the creative sector.
Tony uses his background in development to bridge the gap between IT and the rest of the business. He’s an Agile coach and facilitator who’s not afraid to address dysfunction, but always brings positivity and a sense of fun to his work. He is a terrible ukulele player.
Sandra has a deep love of product management. She mashes agile, lean and new ways of working with passion, humour and pragmatism to help sort out the mess created when digital products haven’t been thought about holistically. She’s based in Sydney, is our first Aussie member to the Team and we fondly call her Sandy II.
Shirley Tricker
Shirley is an Agile coach and facilitator with experience in a range of IT roles and a desire to help people to be adaptable and fulfilled at work. She’s an active contributor to the Tech community, organising conferences, mentoring and volunteering.
Nick White
Nick is an agile product coach who helps teams create tech products and services that their customers love. Believing that people are often better than they know, he guides teams through setting a clear, worthy product vision, goals, and quick-learning experiments. In his free time, Nick loves adventuring outdoors with his young daughter Mia, and running up and down hills like a goat.
