🚀 Wrapping Up My 2nd Week at Entain 🚀 Reflecting on an exciting second week at Entain, I’m thrilled to share the impactful strides we’ve made: 1. Building Relationships & Gaining Context: Establishing strong stakeholder relationships and understanding the organisational landscape, I’ve met incredibly skilled and knowledgeable colleagues who are pivotal to our journey. 2. Understanding Business Objectives: Delving into our business direction and growth targets, aligning our agile practices to drive forward these strategic goals. 3. Creative Collaboration: holding engaging sessions with our talented UX and Product leads, exploring innovative ways to enhance our product-centric approach. 4. Governance & Tooling Insights: Gaining insights into our organisational governance and tooling requirements, ensuring we’re equipped with the best practices and template for success. 5. Customer-Centric Prioritisation: Focusing on initiatives that elevate player experience, discussing value and measurement, and shaping a robust backlog of product improvements aimed at boosting our NPS. It’s been a very positive experience so far, and I’m looking forward to the journey ahead. #AgileCoach #Entain #AgileTransformation #CustomerExperience #ProductInnovation #Growth #Collaboration

Boutique Team. Big Impact. 🚀 “You delivered the MVP faster, than we’ve onboarded the new team member in our corporate” This is what I hear very often. That’s sad, but true. At Appstronauts, being a boutique company means one thing: speed and agility that are really needed for giants. Working with brands like Solutions30 Group, Decathlon Polska, GRUPA CALDO, Cisco, EF Education First we’ve proven that size doesn’t matter when you’re: ⚡ Fast— from idea to execution, we move at light speed. 🎯 Focused— every project gets our undivided attention. 🤝 Close—building partnerships, not just delivering solutions. In a world of endless meetings and red tape, we’re here to get things done. “Small guys” deliver BIG results. Let’s keep moving fast! 🚀

Recently, I had the privilege of joining the team at GamePlus. In the past week, I’ve been leading their partnerships, working to establish a stronger foundation for growth. As I’ve been diving into this work, I’ve been thinking a lot about the role that connections play in our industry. There’s a big difference between a warm introduction and a cold one. A warm introduction happens when someone within your network connects you to another professional. This kind of connection carries real weight because it’s built on trust and existing relationships. On the other hand, a cold introduction is when you reach out to someone without any prior connection. It’s a tougher path since you’re starting from scratch, trying to build trust from the ground up. Warm introductions almost always lead to better outcomes because of the trust they bring along. Building and maintaining a strong network is a long-term investment that pays off in better opportunities and stronger partnerships. Let’s connect and explore how we can support each other’s growth.
