Over Sai Karteek

I help enterprises and scale-ups transform how they deliver value — through Agile coaching, SAFe implementations, and hands-on team mentoring. With 8+ years across FMCG, Aviation, Semiconductors, Financial Services, and Travel, I bring a pragmatic, results-driven approach to every engagement.

Recent outcomes include leading an Agile transformation across a 200-member IT department, achieving 25% improvement in delivery alignment; coaching Data & ML teams at Booking.com through Kanban, Scrum, and Flow practices; and mentoring cross-border infrastructure teams at SWIFT across Belgium and the Netherlands.

I am SAFe 6.0 Lead Implementation and SAFe 5 Advanced Scrum Master certified, with deep expertise in PI Planning, Release Train Engineering, and large-scale facilitation. My clients — from ASML and Kraft Heinz to Materialise and MieleX — value my ability to bridge the gap between technical teams and business strategy.

Available for missions across the Netherlands, Belgium, and EU remote. Let's discuss how I can accelerate your Agile transformation.
