Simon Bourk

Simon is a Software Developer, Professional Scrum Trainer and Agile Coach from Ottawa. He earned an Electrical engineering degree with a minor in Software engineering as a sidekick of his babyfoot championship league and tournaments, that he organized at the university pub.

People often get motivated working with Simon, maybe because of his outstanding enthusiasm or maybe his 6000 km hiking journey in the woods demonstrated it’s ok to dream big.

If not working closely with a client, organizing a monthly Agile Ottawa Event or organizing the Gatineau Ottawa Agile Tour, you can find Simon rock climbing or hiking with his little munchkins and lovely wife, deep in a forest or on top of a mountain somewhere in North America.

Simon’s professional world was flipped upside down when a Scrum Master joined his waterfall team back in 2005. Being a Scrum team member for 5 years taught Simon the true potential of a high performance team. Since then, Simon has been helping his clients experiencing how it feels to be part of a Professional Scrum Team and how it feels when the Agile Mindset is understood deeply across the organization. Simon is an energetic change agent.

It should be of no surprise to see the same young man, who was braving the coldest Canadian temperatures teaching the snowboard instructors has now become a recognized Agile Coach and Professional Scrum Trainer later in life.
