Background

About Thomas Varan

Most Agile consultants show up with a certification and a textbook. I show up with a decade of experience leading complex projects across healthcare, insurance, CPG, commerce, workforce management, and Software & Technology — and a simple philosophy: make the framework work for your organization, not the other way around.I don't advise from the sidelines. I embed with your team, lead delivery on complex cross-functional initiatives, and build the practices, tooling, and reporting your organization needs to operate predictably. Along the way, I coach your product owners, engineers, QA, and leadership so the capability stays when I'm done.What sets me apart:→ I operate at portfolio level. Most recently, I managed a $20M+ portfolio of 6 concurrent workstreams, directing 25+ people across 7 functional areas. I improved on-time delivery from approximately 50–60% to over 95%. Over a 4-year consulting stretch at Lunavi, I led engagements with a combined portfolio value exceeding $1B — with multiple clients extending engagements based on results.→ I speak business, not just process. I build executive dashboards, co-develop commercial proposals (including a $1million + winning engagement), and translate technical complexity into language leadership acts on.→ I build capability, not dependency. At one client, practices I established continued long after I left. Former clients have brought me to their next company — not because they needed me, but because they trusted me to deliver again.→ I integrate AI into delivery workflows — from reporting and documentation to backlog management and team productivity. Practical tools that make teams faster.Most recently recognized with a company-wide Collaboration Award (100+ employees eligible).If your organization is scaling, transforming, or struggling with delivery predictability — let's talk. tv.consulting.llc@gmail.com |(630) 947-5213
