Stef’s passion is organization design. Ever since he discovered the Team Topologies book in 2019, he started advocating and using this pattern language in his coaching and training work.  One of his goals is to extend the use of Team Topologies outside the IT world as a source of inspiration to support more humane, non-hierarchical organization design. Starting his professional life in IT, Stef fulfilled a diverse spectrum of roles, from software developer and analyst to project manager and IT leader.
