Bio:

Steve Williams is a highly experienced engineering professional who has been involved in managing software development teams and building cultures in which they thrive for more than 15 years. Steve’s belief in agile thinking and passion for lean cultures began with exposure to Extreme Programming in the late ‘90s. Before founding Expanding Box Consultants, Steve worked in several multi-national businesses managing software development teams, helping build agile capability at scale coaching within international programmes. Passionate about the environments in which great software is developed, Steve specialises in helping organisations adopt new techniques and tools. He firmly believes in encouraging curiosity, ownership and leadership at all levels. Steve also has 20 years of maritime Search & Rescue experience, volunteering as an RNLI lifeboat crew in his home town, and finds there is a surprising commonality across team dynamics in both an office or out at sea. This experience brings many unique insights that Steve uses to help identify and embed change at all levels within organisations.
