Christophe Achouiantz
Product Transformation Coach
My mission is to help organizations stay relevant in a VUCA (volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous) world.
I am passionate about product, Lean and Agile. It all comes down to engaging and inspiring people to co-create the changes needed to improve the whole. Since 2007, I have helped diverse organizations: from start-ups to public organizations, to some of the largest private companies in Sweden.
My skills and experience are focused on transforming organizations to the product-model and enabling Business Agility.
I support existing – or becoming – product areas and product teams (leadership, development, operations) to become more consumer focused, empowered, and innovative. Concretely, I advises, coaches, mentors, teaches, and implements product and Lean/Aglie mindsets, principles and practices at all levels of the organization.
