Happy 2nd Agile Anniversary, Catalina

BabyYodaTwo years ago this month Catalina went full bore, head first into Agile, applying the Scrum methodology, to deliver and execute on the top priorities of the company.  Now, two years later, we continue to embrace and uphold the Agile values and principles.

We’ve made it all the way to Sprint 53, but who’s counting?  In fact, you might think of us as Baby Yoda right now.  In the past two years, Catalina has delivered thousands of valuable stories to our stakeholders including retailers, CPGs, and corporate.  We continue to scale Agile up and across our enterprise.  And, we’ve got our senior leadership team applying Kanban at the portfolio level to manage Portfolio Epics as part of our Agile Portfolio Management process.

While we are at the end of our transformation, we are only at the beginning of our journey.  As we begin to roll (or shall we say sprint) into year 3 of our Agile journey, we continue to work towards being a truly Agile enterprise.  The cultural change to be an Agile enterprise is constantly a work in progress and the journey never really ends.  Each day, we just try to be a little more agile than we were the day before.

I’m currently VP of Innovation & Delivery Enablement at NMI, where I get to work at the intersection of strategy, delivery, and transformation. I lead an incredible team responsible for portfolio, program, and project management—and we’re also driving some of the most exciting shifts in how we work through AI, Agile Ops, and automation. At the core, I’m passionate about making things work better—whether that’s helping teams deliver with more clarity and confidence, modernizing how we operate, or scaling new ways of working across the business. I love connecting big-picture vision with practical execution, and I take pride in creating the conditions for people and ideas to thrive. I believe transformation isn’t just about process or tech—it’s about mindset. And the most powerful results come when we combine innovation with intentionality, and execution with joy.
