Dave West would like to describe himself as sheik geek.
Unfortunately no one else would describe him in that way. They
would say he is a professional Englishman who likes to talk about
software development best practices with the passion and energy of
an evangelical preacher. Recently Dave has moved to Ivar Jacobson
Consulting, where he runs the Americas and can combine his desire
to talk about software development and spread the word on rugby and
football, and argue that cricket is more exciting that baseball.
Before running the Americas for Ivar Jacobson Consulting, Dave
worked for a number of years at Rational Software (now a part of
IBM). Dave held many positions at Rational and then IBM, including
Product Manager for RUP where he introduced the idea of process
plug-ins and agility to RUP. Dave still laments the days when he
use to sit in a cube and write software in the city of London. This
is where he believes he cut his teeth writing big insurance systems
with nothing but a green screen and a process flow chart.
Dave can be contacted at dwest@ivarjacobson.com, and if he is not
with customers or drinking warm beer with his friends in Boston, he
will email you back.
