Curriculum vitae
Anna Jäger combines economic and psychological know-how with in-depth practical experience in agile working environments. During her business studies at the Ruhr University Bochum, she gained her first insights into agile working - among other things, through a working student position at adesso SE in the HR department and a six-month internship at SEIBERT Group GmbH in the field of marketing and event management, where she experienced agile methods in combination with agile tools in practice. With her master's degree in business psychology at the Fresenius University of Applied Sciences and joining KEGON as a working student, she began to systematically develop her passion for agile transformations: She supported the training business, took on initial project responsibility in various industries and developed a deep understanding of change and team dynamics. Anna is now a certified SAFe® Practice Consultant (SPC) and Professional Scrum Master (PSM) and has been working as a full-time consultant at KEGON since August 2023. Since then, she has actively accompanied several ART launches, coached agile roles and supported both teams and organizations on their way to a scaled agile way of working. In addition, she regularly gives training courses and workshops on agile roles, methods and techniques – practical and interactive
