Avi has decades of experience in both the public and private sectors. He brings his unique experiences as a former science educator, stock broker, and small business owner to each training he facilitates. A protégé of Dr. Jeff Sutherland, Avi sees Scrum as THE key framework to be implemented in any business in order to increase sales and gain an advantage by innovating solutions in a rapidly changing marketplace. Now, he sees Lean-Agile Procurement as the best way to apply Scrum in the process of creating an agile contract. As a contributor and editor of the Scrum@Scale Guide, Avi helped to push for LAP to become one of the first "plug-ins" to S@S, so that everyone exploring scaling can know this fits seamlessly as a way for an organization to work collaboratively with vendors to find an optimal solution.
A life-long Brooklynite (long before it became cool), Avi now lives in Asheville, NC, but can be found most of the time on the road teaching Scrum the way Dr. Sutherland invented it and helping individuals and companies achieve their fullest potential.
