Thomas Schmidt

I am a quality professional from Canterbury in England. I am a qualified Lead Auditor and Six Sigma Green Belt. I am currently studying Project Management (Prince2 & APM) and will shortly be starting my Six Sigma Black Belt (with Services Conversion). I have been applying lean practices in a manufacturing capacity (within Automotive, Aerospace & Electronics sectors) for nearly ten years.

Captivated by the writings of Eric Ries (The Lean Startup), Alex Osterwalder/Yves Pignuer (Business Model Generation) and extending my existing skill sets aquired in Lean Manufacturing, I have recently started an adventure into the world of business hypotheses, models and their validation; entrepreneurship and business agility.

I have a passion for computer programming, technical/cloud computing, desgn and technology, learning new skills, visiting new places/travelling and meeting exciting new people.
