During a period of significant organizational change, Onyi expertly guided us through Agile adoption, providing essential training, guidance, and facilitating team collaboration. He continuously encouraged a learning culture, optimized team dynamics, and implemented best practices. Onyi’s effective facilitation of retrospectives and follow-ups on action items greatly improved our project outcomes.
