She helps leaders and teams reach high performance with a hands-on, no-nonsense approach steeped in Agile. Co-author of Creating Great Teams, she’s a sought-after keynote speaker and serves on the Global Agile Alliance Board.

Tony O'Halloran
Tony is a genius coach and facilitator who's not afraid to address dysfunction and call out bad practices. His development background gives him an edge with tech teams, and he's a natural bridge between business and tech. Tony is renown for leading teams to greatness with infectious humour and positivity. He's also renowned for being a totally fearless mountain biker.
Brenda Leeuwenberg
Brenda is the ultimate multi-purpose team player at Nomad8. She brings extensive skills and experience with coaching, training, strategy development, problem solving and making-shit-happen to any new challenge. A digital strategist with a media and agency background, Brenda has been Head of Digital and Innovation at NZ On Air, created the National Strategy for Financial Capability for the Retirement Commission, and wrote Māori Television's digital strategy. She keeps the Nomad8 machine humming as well.
Tracey Moerkerk
Tracey is a coach and leader who helps teams and organisations get results they can measure. She builds inclusive teams that have the autonomy to try new things and keep getting better. She stays calm under pressure, which helps when she's guiding an organisation through an Agile transformation. Tracey also designs and runs workshops, and makes sure strategy turns into work that happens.
Chris Greenhough
Nomad8's resident Brit Chris is a coach who gets fired up by helping people and companies make sense of messy problems. Auckland-based since 2012, he brings curiosity and humour, and builds rapport fast. He combines Agile experience with a feel for the opportunities and traps waiting for organisations keen to adapt.
A close observer of human quirks, Chris is a proud stepdad, cat parent, fan of many nerdy things, and a terrible (but terribly enthusiastic!) chess player.
Anthony Boobier
Anthony is a master of tactful navigation when it comes to the ups and downs of corporate contexts. He can coach reluctant Agile appointees into a smoothly functioning dream team with his calm, pragmatic approach. He is a certified trainer of Lean Agile Procurement practices. Ant shares his enthusiasm and knowledge as a coach, facilitator and trainer with organisations and teams in Wellington.
Paulius Tuzikas
Paulius heads up Nomad8 Lithuania. After a few years soaking up Kiwi culture, he's returned home to bring Product Management and Agile coaching to the businesses of Europe. He is passionate about personal development and is a co-author of the personal growth framework for Agile Coaches. He is constantly inventing and improving tools and techniques to help teams improve, experiment and work towards delivering value continuously.
Christian Grabowski
Christian helps organisations work out what matters most and focus on it. He sets up adaptive teams, helps organisations change how they work, and designs and facilitates workshops that get people working together.
Christian loves learning and is always looking for ways to improve. Outside work he's into exercise, fitness and owns the biggest dog any of us has ever seen.
Tanya Colvin
Tanya will ask the difficult question and help a team act on the answer. She's courageous and funny, quick to see what needs to change, and always on the side of the people it affects. She coaches leaders on strategy and transformation and individuals one-to-one, and helps teams talk about the things they've been putting off. She believes change takes honest conversations, strong relationships and the courage to act. Tanya is a senior Agile Coach, facilitator and ICF PCC coach.
