Hi there!

I’m Henrik
Kepler

Servant leader with an agile mindset

About me

Agile coach based in CPH

Experienced agile practitioner with human centric focus

My passion is to create products with a curious mindset based on agile values and principles I embrace problems, ideas, discovery and delivery practices and techniques. I engage with and teach/mentor/coach agile teams and servant leaders on all levels.

I believe that creating values for the customers in combination with a strong focus on business outcome is the one major missing link in a lot of organisations – It is all about bringing value to customers in an effective and efficient proces while being iterative, and show trust towards the delivery teams to get the work done.

Henrik has always been a pleasure to work with.In a fast paced world, it is nice to still be able to work with people taking the time to really care and focus and never deliver an unqualified service or result. I can only give Henrik my best recommendations

— Jacob /Founder

The past year I have had the pleasure of having Henrik as my manager. During this time, I have been allowed to flourish professionally, as Henrik has not come to my work in a straitjacket, but instead has coached me to find my own way to the goal. In this way, Henrik has managed to motivate me to the extreme, keep me sharp, and has given me the best working day- every day.

— Sif /UX-designer

I have worked with Henrik from 2016 to the beginning of 2020, where Henrik has been a great help and sparring partner in fullrate.dk's content universe. He is always ready to help and always provides input on challenges. He always takes his time, which is often in short supply. He is really skilled in his field and is always ready to explore new ideas. Henrik is a really sharp and well-liked colleague who gets my best recommendation, and any company is lucky if Henrik is hired.
