Biography
Marc Wittenberg - I started to practice scrum in 2008 when I joined Standard and Poors as a Business Analyst. Prior to that I was a Business Analyst for Lehman Brothers working in a strictly waterfall environment and was eventually let go soon after bankruptcy. Over the past 9 years I have held several roles within McGraw-Hill, DTCC, Wells Fargo and Johnson and Johnson and in one way shape or form they all have a connection to scrum. My first introduction to scrum was as a scrum master, followed by coaching teams and providing in house training sessions on scrum and agile.
