Kerri Sutey (Agile Coach at Google) 

Curiosity and courage are the pillars that lead to a fulfilled life. Kerri finds the greatest joy in exploring - whether it is traveling the world, hiking to new heights, or coaching leaders and teams on their agile journey. My journey shifted from traditional project management to Scrum Master to Agile Coach to coach of coaches to Enterprise Coach. And I've been fortunate to lead agile teams in modeling & simulation, cyber security, and marketing before making my way to IT. I've coached in the US Government, Technology, Oil and Gas, and Airline industries - taking an integral approach that values mindset, culture, and business outcomes as critical to achieving agility versus checking a framework box. My passions are co-creating with others and celebrating the "aha” moments of collaboration, innovation, and learning. Kerri currently resides in Austin, TX (in the winter) and Lakeside, MT (in the summer).
