Brian Levy is the President of BridgePort Digital, an organizational optimization firm specializing in the enhancement of the strategic approach.  While others in the industry have avoided metrics, Brian has been able to consistently improve productivity by over 30% within 6 months of operation verified with predefined metrics.  He’s accomplished this through coaching executives through strategic alignment and the pioneering techniques of Portfolio Management.  As an avid fan of continuous improvement, Brian often takes the time to engage in executive coaching in order to learn new skills to transfer to his employees.  However, his real joy is in putting his Scrum@Scale Trainer status to use in the classroom and training others in the techniques which lead to organizational optimization. That joy is most often utilized via training underrepresented minorities in careers related to software development and using his 10-year old daughter to explain Agile Strategy management concepts.
