Timo Toivonen — Technical Program Manager
As a Software Architect, I guide and upskill teams in the Microsoft stack — .NET, C#, WPF and Web — while promoting Clean Code principles, modern DevOps practices, and the soft skills that foster strong, collaborative engineering cultures. As an Agile Coach, I start and scale agility with a human touch and help organizations rethink how they work. With three engineering degrees and deep roots in software development, I bridge systems thinking and hands-on implementation. I adapt frameworks like Scrum, Kanban, LeSS, SAFe, and Flight Levels to meet real-world needs. I help leaders use agile as a strategic lever—bringing clarity, focus, and structure to growth and transformation. My approach blends structure with empathy, and aligns day-to-day work with big-picture goals. My motto: “Adapt the process and follow your heart.” I coach teams toward resilience, sustainable performance, and purposeful progress. Along the way, I guide them through real-world challenges: listening to the customer, aligning with other teams, building the courage to grow, improving the process, making change stick, overcoming resistance, and addressing tension timely. I facilitate workshops that bring clarity to complexity and drive concrete results. Using a wide range of methods—including Liberating Structures, Stakeholder Mapping, Story Mapping and Design Sprints—I ensure full participation and create inclusive, positive, and outcome-focused environments where real dialogue and change can emerge. I'm committed to building agile teams that deliver value and delight customers. I enjoy when I see people and organizations growing into better versions of themselves. I’m interested in new ways to bring about meaningful dialogue, as well as novel ways to align teams with strategy. I’m fluent in English, German and Finnish, and I thrive in international environments and foster strong cross-cultural collaboration. I'm open to work in DACH-region.
