Emily Webber has been working with Agile teams and organisations for a number of years. She has a breadth of experience of delivery and agile transformation in both the private and public sectors.

She was the Head of Agile Delivery at Government Digital Service (GDS), where amongst other things she built, developed and led an amazing team of ~40 Agile delivery professionals. While doing this, she created the model used by many organisations for developing communities of practice. She has taken this model and applied it to organisations including Department for work and Pensions (DWP), Ministry of Justice (MoJ), Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) and Co-op Digital. As well as capturing it in her book 'Building Successful Communities of Practice'.

She is always seeking opportunities to give back to the Agile community and co-founded Agile on the Bench; a meet-up in London and a one-day Agile conference and is often found speaking at Agile and Lean conferences and meet-ups.

She is passionate about teams, communities, organisational learning and skills development, she blogs at emilywebber.co.uk and has a weak spot for vintage scooters.
