What Others Say About Me

I recently had the pleasure of working with Tobias, and I can say without hesitation that my coaching experience with him has been great. I highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a supportive and knowledgeable coach to help them navigate the challenges of a new role or environment.

Tobi, at all times, found great opportunities to improve culture, processes, and technologies to significantly boost developer productivity and experience. I would not have to think twice if I got the opportunity to work with him again.

I highly recommend working with Tobi on your technical and cultural challenges. He is a great communicator, able to explain complex topics to both technical and non-technical folks. His wealth of knowledge, kind and caring nature, positive attitude, and problem-solving skills made him a joy to work with.

I worked with Tobi for almost three years across multiple teams. I witnessed how the environment where Tobi is present transforms into a highly performant one, where people collaborate heavily, trust each other and enjoy working together.

Even just one session with Tobias provided value for us. It was thought-provoking and we had enough action points to work on internally.
