Customer Proxy at Kunlabora
Antwerp Metropolitan Area Belgium
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolKurt Smolderen is a pragmatic agile coach and customer proxy with 13 years of experience helping teams and organizations move from mechanical process adherence to meaningful, value-driven agility. He blends hands-on engineering and product experience—from infrastructure and NOC roles to product ownership and UX design—with frontline team leadership, making him equally comfortable in technical trenches and stakeholder rooms. Known for inviting "good enough for now, safe enough to try" experiments, he champions iterative change that reduces perfectionism-driven paralysis. Based in Antwerp, he has supported large telecom and aerospace-adjacent projects (Unifly, Proximus) and now focuses on co-creative solutions at Kunlabora, favoring collaboration over rigid requirements.
