Betty Gonzalez

Betty GonzalezBetty Gonzalez comes to Agile Learning Labs from a long history of herding cats, first as a district manager for Jean Nicole Petries in the fast-paced retail industry, and later in the construction business, where she helped build a 50-employee company from the ground up (we’re hoping she can do the same for us!).

Uniquely talented in many areas, including finance and logistics, Betty brings a consummate sincerity and joy to every part of her work. She also has a positive energy and lovely smile that you won’t soon forget.

Max joined the Agile Learning Labs team in June of 2015. He is a high-energy go-getter that can transition into a nap at a moment’s notice. Max deeply values individuals and interactions over processes and tools. His tug toy is a valuable tool, but only because it supports his playful interactions with other individuals in the office. He frequently displays his agility by responding to change over following a plan, when chasing a thrown toy. Max has attended several of Agile Learning Labs’ certified scrum workshops, but his approach to paperwork has not yet resulted in him completing the certification process. He plans to try again soon, but after a nap.
