Our story

Khiliad was founded in 2017 by Jimmy, an ex-Mckinsey & Company consultant, developer, solution architect, manager, Agile coach, Scrum Master, and Product Owner. Initially, Khiliad, like many consultancies, was just one man band, but Jimmy always had something grander in mind, a different type of consultancy and outsourcing company. One that will stay true to agile values, good leadership and promoting those values to our clients.

Khiliad started its natural growth in 2021, right on the back of the COVID pandemic. Since then, we are slowly growing, reaching higher and bolder. We aim to develop into a medium-sized family-like company where everyone will know everyone. For us, connection is everything, and we always want to maintain sight of that.

Our mission

In the realm of agile development, everyone claims accuracy, but the glaring gap between expectation and delivery remains the industry's Achilles' heel.

We don't just recognise this discrepancy - we've made it our mission to obliterate it. With our unparalleled alignment process, we guarantee not just delivery but the exact outcome you've envisioned.

While others grapple with mismatched results, we've taken the lead in ensuring that what you expect is precisely what you get. Why settle for uncertainty when precision is on the table?

Jimmy Skowronski

Founder and CEO

I used to be a developer, architect and Scrum Master. If I can selflessly say so, I was an excellent developer, spoke at conferences, ran a community and loved coding

Since I can remember, I've always had a deep affinity for agility and non-standard ways of leading teams and companies. This got me into many troubles, and I was fired a few times but I never gave up. Ultimately, I knew I was right, and the standard ways of "managing" were not.

When I joined McKinsey & Company, my career went upside-down as I became a consultant and Agile Coach. I spent the next few years travelling the world and helping others deliver outstanding software and embrace agility. Those years were an actual rollercoaster, but they gave me invaluable experience and opened my eyes to many problems. That realisation and experience at McKinsey, IBM and later as a freelancer led to this moment.

I started Khiliad with a dream of creating a different type of consultancy and outsourcing company. One that will stay true to agile values, good leadership and promoting those values to our clients.

But work isn't everything. I have recently discovered a true passion for motorcycling, especially off-road. The feeling of adrenaline when crossing rivers or deep mud pits, the thrill of climbing hills and rocks and the power when I control a big bike are addictive. Aside from that, I do everything and anything that gets my heart pumping and gives me a surge of adrenaline. And when things calm down, I still do nerdy things like when I was a teenager.

Naz Keceli

Chief Operating Officer

According to a study I read in Forbes, the average person has three careers throughout their lifetime! This article stuck with me for some time as I had always been a lawyer and, like most, felt somewhat stuck on the corporate hamster wheel, often considering trying something different. Although I occasionally toyed with the idea of leaving the law, I never quite dared to jump ship, so to speak. Fast forward to Covid, which finally gave me the nudge I needed. Until joining the Khiliad team, I had an exciting 20-year legal career in the private and public sectors. I've had a varied career, from defending high-profile litigation against the UK government to advising CEOs/Chairmans and board members on legal and operational risk.

It's an exciting time at Khiliad, which is steadily growing. I love coming to work knowing I can do many things I very much enjoyed as a lawyer, like stakeholder management, strategic planning, and business management, without the dreaded task of billing at the end of it all. Gaining my qualification as a certified Product Owner and starting my journey to become an accredited Life Coach means I have more than operational oversight and can immerse myself in all aspects of the business.

Outside of work, I have combined my love of travel with my recently found passion for motorbikes. Bootcamp and yoga, my other passions, come in handy when off-roading in slightly more challenging terrains like Iceland, which I had the pleasure of exploring over a month recently. My mission is to explore as many countries as possible on my motorbike.
