Meet the LeanOhio Team

     
  Scot Burbacher loves finding better ways of doing things. Throughout his experiences as a systems analyst in both private and public sector settings, Scot has cultivated a passion for solving complex business problems and challenging the status quo. His background in information technology gives him the ability to speak the language of IT professionals and help bridge the gap between the needs of the process and potential IT solutions. As comfortable as Scot is behind a computer, he is equally at ease in front of groups as a trainer and facilitator.
