He has been in the trenches
Matthias did not learn agility from certification decks or management fashion. He learned it by building software, working in teams, and seeing what delivered results.
About Matthias Orgler
Helping companies build better products, teams, and organizations
Matthias Orgler works with global corporations, startups, and scaleups on leadership, innovation, technical excellence, and agility.
What makes him different is how he got there: not through theory first, but through engineering, product building, and years of seeing what actually works in practice.
Silicon Valley veteran
Leadership coach
Engineer
Agile Thought Leader
Educator
Keynote speaker
From code to teams to organizations to innovation.
It started with building
Matthias did not get into this field because Agile was fashionable. He got into it because he wanted to build great products and great businesses. That is why he studied both computer science and business.
Then, in 2003, he worked in his first agile team. They were doing Extreme Programming not because anyone cared about frameworks, but because it helped them build excellent software for real customers. And it worked. They shipped fast. They shipped quality. They worked closely as engineers. They worked closely with the customer. And the results were strong enough to change the direction of his career.
That practical experience still shapes his work today. Matthias did not fall in love with agile language. He got hooked because it delivered.
The scope kept getting bigger
At first, the focus was engineering. Then it became obvious that great results do not come from individual brilliance alone. They depend on how a team works together, how engineers collaborate with customers, and how seriously technical excellence is taken. Practices like TDD were not side topics. They were part of what made quality and speed possible.
Later, Silicon Valley added another layer. There, Matthias learned more about business models, future markets, innovation, and how larger organizations can organize product development without suffocating what makes innovation possible in the first place.
Over time, that expanded his view from code, to teams, to organizations, to business models and markets. That combination became the foundation for the work he does today.
He went on to help start companies, combining engineering depth with product thinking, technical excellence, organizational design, and innovation work. From there, consulting and coaching became a natural extension of the same mission: helping people build things that work not just technically, but organizationally and commercially.
What makes Matthias different
He understands more than one layer
He has worked from engineering to teams to organizations to business models. That lets him connect technical reality, collaboration, leadership, and innovation instead of treating them as separate worlds.
He cares about what works
He is not attached to jargon, fashionable frameworks, or empty transformation theater. He cares about whether a company can actually build, learn, improve, and succeed.
He brings both depth and breadth
Matthias works on topics ranging from technical excellence and agility to leadership and innovation without losing the practical grounding that gave his work its credibility in the first place.
What Matthias works on today
Today, Matthias coaches global corporations as well as tech startups and scaleups. His work spans leadership, innovation, technical excellence, and agility.
Over the years, he has also seen how much culture and the human side determine whether any of this succeeds. Again and again, that is the difference between transformation that sticks and transformation that becomes theater.
That is why his work today connects leadership coaching, innovation coaching, agile coaching, and technical excellence rather than treating them as separate disciplines. In real organizations, they are tightly linked.

Still focused on building great products
Matthias started out wanting to build great products and great businesses. That is still the thread running through his work today whether he is coaching leaders, helping a team improve, strengthening technical excellence, or working with an organization on innovation and agility.
The tools and scope have expanded. The goal has not. Build things that work. Help organizations get better at doing that.
