Marcus Hamrin

"I have worked with Marcus in the past ~5 years. He is always one of the most thought through persons I know with the best insights on human and organisational behaviours. I love his approach to data driven delivery predictability and all his insights about flow and how to organise depending on what you want to optimise for, calendar time, engineering time or something else. All in all Marcus is a star."

"I've enjoyed working with Marcus! He is an exceptional Product Manager with a strategic focus, deep subject matter expertise, and a keen prioritization focus. His ability to align product development with overarching business goals showcases a strong strategic vision that drives long-term success. Above all, Marcus has always worked with an admirable degree of grace and empathy. I would definitely recommend him for a Product Leadership role."

"During my four-plus years collaborating with Marcus at Spotify, I've been consistently impressed by his exceptional leadership skills, which span multiple disciplines. His expertise in product management, coupled with his proficiency in agile coaching and organizational change management, is truly remarkable. Working alongside Marcus has been an enriching experience and I wholeheartedly endorse him to any organization seeking a top-notch professional."

"I learned a lot from Marcus during the time we were leading a team of mobile developers responsible for video playback. Marcus' insights in modern software development cycle, and his razor sharp product delivery focus is something that I will carry with me for the rest of my working career. I feel very privileged to have been working together with Marcus."

"When my team was looking for a new PM and had Marcus join we couldn't have been luckier. With his background in agile practises and passion in numbers and figures he managed to take our team to the next level. He taught me the value of doing forecasting over estimation and to turn planning into a question of "How likely is it that we will be complete" rather than answering "When will we be complete". I truly enjoyed working with Marcus. He's humble and an excellent listener while still doing a remarkable job at conveying his ideas and thoughts. If you ever get the chance to work with Marcus, take it!"

"Working with Marcus was a pure pleasure; Of all the unique and superb Agile coaches I had worked with during my near decade at Spotify, Marcus shines like a beacon when it comes to his ability to combine his inclusive and prestigeless "let's figure this out together" attitude with his deep knowledge of Lean/Agile software development. I saw first-hand how his role-modeling of the joy of shared learning leveled his surroundings up to higher levels of business impact. I enjoyed working with him immensely, and recommend him heartily."

"I was lucky to have Marcus as my manager when joining Ooyala. Returning to Sweden from London it was refreshing to have the first person I worked with be someone who strives to continuously improve and challenge themselves. He has the ability to always put the teams he works with first and knows what questions to ask to help them solve problems and drive forward. As a manager he is very supportive and having him as a coach helped me immensely in transitioning into the Agile mindset at Ooyala."

"When it comes to agile coaching and servant leadership, Marcus is a true rock-star. Marcus has deep knowledge of agile theory & thinking (just go read his blog at agileordie.com). But above all, he has that rare skill of engaging with teams in a way that helps them discover and make use of his knowledge in their own context, rather than providing top-down direction. The combination of being humble yet very knowledgeable is a hallmark of a great servant leader. Marcus would be a true asset for any organization looking to improve their agile practices."
