Nish Mahanty
Director of Engineering REA Group
I am Director of Engineering at REA Group with over 20 years experience working in IT, having worked in several start-ups and consultancies before long stints at MYOB, SEEK and exchange.
I am passionate about building high performing teams in order to deliver great business outcomes. Having experienced several "death march" mega-projects, I was convinced that there had to be a better way of delivering software, based on valuing team members as individuals. Agile and Lean were a natural fit, and I have spent the last 15 years driving Agile transformations within companies.
I have been fortunate to have worked with a range of experts from across the Agile, Lean, and Kanban communities, and love the challenge of adapting what I have learned to each new business situation.
