Matthew Turnbull
Hello! My names Matt, I’m 24 and I’m from… LEEDS! (Doing my best “take me out” impression). I’ve been working as a scrum master for 18 months. My journey so far has been unbelievable, but has of course had its ups and downs! During my talk I will be talking you through that journey, from my first role in an IT environment to most recently learning how scrum can be scaled! If you would like to know a little more about me, feel free to ask away.
