History

History

2020

Foundation

Scrum Facilitators founded by Chee-Hong Hsia and Jasper Alblas

2023

Evolution

Scrum Professionals officially launched

Scrum Facilitators was born in 2020 when Chee-Hong Hsia and Jasper Alblas, both seasoned Professional Scrum Trainers, started collaborating in the Netherlands. They sought to compete with larger training brands by uniting under a single banner. Over time, they invited other independent trainers to join them, steadily expanding the team and their network both nationally and internationally.

As their collaboration deepened, together with Ziryan Salayi, they encountered recurring challenges in their consulting work: high-potential individuals constrained by bureaucratic systems and external hires lacking essential attitude and skills. This inspired the idea of building an organisation offering holistic, people-first solutions grounded in autonomy, mastery, and purpose.

In 2023, this vision culminated in the founding of Scrum Professionals, an organization integrating these principles into every aspect of its operations, from hiring to daily activities.

Characteristics of the SF Professional
  1. 01

    Where organisations are usually focused on determining whether you have hard skills or concrete experience to offer, we much prefer instead to focus on your attitude and who you are. After all, everyone has value!

  2. 02

    Our goal is to create a win-win situation, one in which we can help you find the best way to wield that value, while at the same time accelerating our own vision.
