I am Evelien Acun-Roos, married to Ali and proud mom of three kids. We live in Helmond, The Netherlands, and I cherish spending time with my family.
My Agile journey started at Essent in 2010. Since then, I’ve supported organizations like ING, Rabobank, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, APG, Philips, VodafoneZiggo, and Unilever in working in an Agile way to deliver more value. With over 15 years of experience in the Agile domain, I now work as a Professional Knowledge Sharer at Xebia. I am a Professional Scrum Trainer (PST) with Scrum.org and a certified Training from the Back of the Room facilitator.
I focus on people: helping teams grow, fostering engagement, and guiding organizations towards high performance. Training is where my energy comes alive.
In recent years, I’ve expanded my work into AI adoption, helping organizations understand, experiment with, and responsibly integrate AI. This includes designing training programs for Product Owners, leaders, and teams, as well as my current research on gender bias in AI and its impact on products, organizations, and society.
Beyond my professional work, I share inspiration as part of the Scrum Boosters on Instagram and TikTok.
