Anders has a hankering for cutting waste and having fun doing so.

Having spent most of his career in the Norwegian Labour and Welfare administration, Anders has been part of the change from bureaucratic and massive waterfall projects to flexible and agile cross functional teams. He has also been involved in shaping the organisation’s approach to agile testing, test environments, synthetic test data, and test management tools.
