I Help Leaders Focus. #deliver
My name is Michael Vizdos.
I am a strategic advisor, entrepreneur, and practitioner who helps C-level executives and their teams solve a specific problem:
You are "doing" Agile, but you aren't seeing the results.
I don't offer theory from the sidelines. I have spent 35+ years in the trenches, navigating the same complex realities you face today.
My perspective is shaped by four distinct roles:
1. The Practitioner (Chief Product Officer)
I am not "just" a consultant; I am in the trenches with my own team, building Edvizion — a high-growth EdTech SaaS company — from the ground up. As Co-Founder and CPO, I navigate the exact same product, strategy, and operations challenges you do: meeting payroll, managing stakeholders, and shipping product. When I give advice, it's the same advice I use to run my own company, today, not a case study from a decade ago.
2. The Guide (Strategic Advisor)
I help founders and executives align their "First Team." We move beyond functional silos to build an operating model that actually delivers value. I act as a confidential sparring partner for leaders who are tired of "process theater" and want to build a culture of genuine alignment.
3. The Authority (Certified Scrum Trainer)
I am one of the original Certified Scrum Trainers® (CST) recognized by the Scrum Alliance — a founding member of the organization since 2004, back when there were fewer than 25 CSTs in the world. I've personally trained thousands of Scrum Masters, Product Owners, and executives since. I don't just teach the rules. I teach you how to break through the noise and apply the framework in the real world.
4. The Educator (Agile In Education)
Edvizion isn't a pivot into EdTech for me — it's the next chapter of work I've been doing for over a decade. I've served as a Strategic Advisor to Blueprint Education's school district leadership since 2014, and spent eight years (2017–2025) as Scrum Master In Residence at Virginia Commonwealth University's da Vinci Center, teaching Agile and Scrum to graduate and undergraduate students, faculty, and staff. I created ScrumInSchool.org to bring these same ideas into K-12 classrooms — the same real-world thread that runs directly into Edvizion's mission today.
My Philosophy: Focus. #deliver
You don't need another framework. You need results. Whether you need a strategic partner, a mentor, or a trainer for your team, I can help you close the gap.
