    About The Speaker: 

    Many years after finalizing his Bachelors in Communications, Zach studied further and pursued a career in programming. After one too many dreams of coding he discovered the Agile project methodology and aspired to becoming a Project Manager.

    When the opportunity arose at GraphicMail, he set out to implement an Agile system that would span continents and cultures, but ideally streamline the processes that were sadly lacking in his time as a full time developer.
