About Ross

Ross Hughes is dedicated to helping leaders and teams work better together to solve complex challenges in rapidly changing environments. Solutions to uncertain and volatile problems rarely emerge from siloed individuals but from well-functioning groups able to unleash their collaborative intelligence and collective skills.

To help build high-performing human systems, Ross pulls from his decades of personal experiences as a valued team member, manager, leader, and advisor in diverse organizations and industries. Having first-hand knowledge of the challenges his clients face provides a practical perspective to possible solutions and – maybe more importantly – empathy toward those struggling to solve them together.

Ross began his Agile journey in 2005 at IDX Corp., the first company to use Scrum at a larger scale. While proficient at helping large and small organizations improve their implementation of many different practices and frameworks, he believes leadership competencies and the resulting cultural norms are the key factors that enable organizational agility. Following this focus, he became one of the first Agile Leadership Journey guides. Since then, he has learned from and taught leaders and teams in organizations around the world.

When not helping clients, Ross is happiest when close to nature, keeping honey bees, gardening, fishing, and hiking.
