Summary
Martien Van Steenbergen is a seasoned Agile & Lean trainer, coach and product-minded leader with over a decade guiding organisations— from CxOs to delivery teams—toward nimble, flow-driven ways of working. As founder of AardRock he combines deep technical fluency with creative visioneering to catalyse disruptive change while keeping work joyful and outcomes measurable. He’s delivered thousands of trainings and presentations across public and private sectors (ING, NPO, Sanquin, TomTom) and repeatedly shapes transformations end-to-end: strategy, leadership, product development and team dynamics. Known as a “Wise Fool,” he blends out-of-the-box thinking with pragmatic execution—literally building the plane while flying it—and writes and speaks in both English and Dutch. An unexpected detail: he pairs playful facilitation (game development and Gandhi tours) with serious metrics-focused coaching, prioritising clients’ numbers over his own.
