Experience
Vizdos Enterprises, LLC, Managing Director
Currently Operating
I am an experienced agile coach, Certified ScrumTrainer,
speaker, and author. In addition to working with clients
converting to more iterative and incremental methodologies
(including one of the largest enterprise agile rollouts to
date), I am the creator of the website www.implementingscrum.com. I
conduct international agile coaching and training
sessions along with speaking at many users groups and
conferences about real-world agile experiences. My
preference is to work with clients on a short-term
basis, no matter where they are in the adoption
change-curve.
Ronin International, President
September 2001 - December 31, 2005
Working with Scott Ambler and others, I started as a
consultant and became President of their professional
services organization, focusing on the delivery of agile
(and other process) methodology training and consulting to
the Global 1000 and international government agencies. In
addition to building a world-class team, I coauthored a
book about the Enterprise Unified Process, became a
Certified Scrum Master, and began speaking at international
public events. The corporation ceased operations at the end
of 2005 as the founders went in different professional
directions.
Brience, Director of Professional Services
May 2000 - August 2001
I was brought in to build a professional services
organization from nothing. During its peak, the team
included an international assortment of roles who serviced
telecom organizations in South America. My role included
international travel and working with C-level executives in
planning and implementing their enterprise rollouts of one
the first software-as-a-service technologies. The company
was sold, and the team was disbanded.
TRACI Communications, Consulting Manager
September 1999 - April 2000
This short term contract was to start-up a new consulting
division, which is still in existence today.
Eclipsys, Director
January 1997 - August 1999
I joined the company early (person thirty) and we went
public. My roles varied from senior developer working with
the Labs of Computer Sciences (at Mass General) to mining
research and development projects for commercial viability
to being named the director of midrange systems at a data
center implementing newly emerging web-technologies. I left
after the IPO to pursue other opportunities.
Electronic Data Systems, Systems Engineer
January 1991 - December 1996
I joined EDS directly out of college and successfully
completed the Systems Engineering Development (SED)
Program. During my years with them, I worked with clients
such as Domino Sugar, Ryder Systems, Compaq, IBM, and
General Motors in roles varying from programmer to project
manager and team lead positions. Most of the roles were
highly technical (including operating system development)
and worked on multiple platforms with varying vendor
interactions.
