Top SchoolGareth Evans is an advisor and founder-level product engineering leader with 11+ years of experience helping organisations in Australasia accelerate innovation through pragmatic Lean and Agile practices. As co-founder of HYPR Innovation and one of the first seven people globally to become a Scaled Agile Framework Program Consultant Trainer (SPCT), he blends deep coaching expertise with hands-on transformation work. He has a track record of enabling teams, leaders and executives to improve flow-to-customer, quality and predictability across software product companies. Trained in Advanced Kanban for Software Engineering, Cognitive Edge methods and a Certified Scrum Master, Gareth is equally comfortable shaping executive strategy and guiding day-to-day delivery improvements.

A practical systems thinker, he co-authored the HYPR improvement model now used by 200+ product companies—an indicator of his focus on scalable, repeatable change rather than one-off fixes.
