Avinash Tripathi, CSP, CSM

Avinash Tripathi (Nash) is passionate about what he does and firmly believe “If you want to go fast, go alone, if you want to go farther go together”. Nash is a trainer by profession, a facilitator at heart and a coach by instinct. Nash has worked with several fortune 100 organizations to help them through the change curve and enhance their perspective on agility.

He travels to consult, working with enterprise management groups, executive teams and individual project teams on large-scale agile transformations in addition to providing leadership coaching and other agile training. Avinash has trained and coached individuals at several organizations including FannieMae, Capital One and has mentored several enterprise management teams and individual project teams in these organizations on business efficiency, process improvements, and organizational change.

He has spoken at several company events and agile user groups and has led CSM training classes and agile workshops at Companies' offices across the USA with Certified Scrum Trainers. With an extensive technical background and several industry certifications, he is on a journey to bridge the gap between traditional management strategies and the agile mindset while helping individuals and organizations experience the benefits of using Agile.

As a lifelong learner, it gives him immense pleasure to share his experience with others and, at the same time, learn new perspectives through collaborative learning. He is a huge believer in "community before individual". 

He believes that “Nobody is perfect. In fact, perfection is the enemy of self-actualization. Perfection is a myth, improvement is real” – As someone smart once said, Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish.
