Emmanuel Sanyi

Senior Agile Delivery Leader · Healthcare IT & Data Platforms · AI-Enabled Delivery

Helping engineering teams across healthcare, banking, and consulting ship predictably — with calm ceremonies, clear metrics, and AI in the loop.

About

A steady hand on complex delivery

I'm a Certified Scrum Master (CSM, PSM) and SAFe Scrum Master (SSM) with 11+ years guiding cross-functional engineering teams across healthcare IT, banking, financial services, and consulting organizations.

My work centers on facilitating Agile ceremonies, managing Jira and Kanban workflows, and coaching teams toward stronger delivery predictability — on enterprise data platforms delivering ETL pipelines, integrations, regulatory reporting, and Workday HCM, Payroll, and Recruiting implementations that carry straight into healthcare data interoperability and EHR/HRIS environments.

Lately I've been weaving AI-powered tools into daily Scrum practice, sharpening planning, reporting, and continuous improvement without adding ceremony overhead.
