With his brother Laszlo, Victor Szalvay founded Danube Technologies, Inc. in Seattle, Wash. in August 2000. Though the company was created to manage outsourced software projects, Danube’s focus quickly shifted to helping organizations transition to Agile management practices. Central to this transition in business strategy was the development of ScrumWorks™, a Scrum-specific project management tool and Danube’s flagship product. Danube also introduced a services division, now called ScrumCORE, in August 2004, which provides Agile coaching to clients through public and private courses as well as onsite engagements.

Currently, Victor serves as Product Owner for ScrumWorks Pro. In that capacity, he works closely with a team of developers to implement features that create value for Danube’s customers. With more than 65,000 active users worldwide, ScrumWorks is used by more than half of the Fortune 100 and boasts the largest market share of any Agile management tool.

Prior to serving as Product Owner, Victor acted as one of Danube’s Certified Scrum Trainers (CST), providing instruction through both public courses and onsite coaching engagements.

Victor graduated from the University of Washington in 1994, where he studied biochemistry. He lives in Redmond, Wash. with his wife, Jennifer. When he’s not working on the next generation of ScrumWorks, Victor enjoys photography and marksmanship.
