Bio:

Elaine Sullivan caught the IT bug at 9 years of age and by the time she was 24 she was the Network Manager for Compaq UK. She then created and headed up Compaq’s European Network Managers group thereby facilitating European wide collaboration. She continued to work within IT and technology throughout her career working with companies such as IBM, Siemens, Fujitsu, Aviva, Vodafone and O2 and, having trained under Jeff Sutherland, was an early adopter of Agile. Throughout the course of years, she has seen at first-hand how high intensity, demanding workplaces can impact personnel. It was this that led her to start her own business, Skybrook Consultants, where she can use real life, ‘in the trenches’, experience to offer insight, guidance, and training on leadership, collaboration and, more importantly, resilience in the workplace to the personnel of small and large businesses alike. Her approach of bringing energy and drive to those she works with, is designed to help companies make the ‘human investment’, to engage and enable staff, help others become great leaders and to build a workplace culture of mutual respect, collaboration and internal motivation. Through her company she has worked with organisations as diverse as London Victoria Insurance and Hampshire Constabulary, UK, and, amongst others, has spoken at events such as • Unicom Test Conference (UK), 2017 • Agile on the Beach (UK), 2017 and 2018 • ACE! Conference (Krakow, Poland) 2019. • Agile by Example, (Warsaw, Poland) 2019 • Agile and Automation Days, (Gdansk, Poland) 2019 Elaine’s style is always about injecting humour and fun into whatever she is speaking about. She’s dynamic, bold and engaging.
