Who is David?

David describes himself as a passionate product leader, content creator, and speaker. He has ten years of product management experience. Over the last years, he led many product teams in successful endeavours. 

David says that curiosity drives him daily: Curiosity spurs action; knowledge kills it. His biggest fear is the comfort zone.

He’s also an editor on Serious Scrum, a community of people that practice Scrum. Members discuss and engage in various topics on the platform and actively contribute to the scrum community. He reviews articles every week on the website and shares many insights as well in order to help the agile community build meaningful products.
