Cliff Berg

Cliff Berg is managing partner for Agile 2 Academy, a company founded to help organizations to achieve true agility without Agile frameworks.
As a successful tech entrepreneur, Cliff was co-founder and CTO of Digital Focus, a startup that grew from 2 to 200 people in five years and was known for its success in rapidly building high reliability Internet-facing business critical systems for companies like FedEx, McKesson, United Overseas Bank, and many others. It was acquired in 2006. Cliff’s 2006 textbook High- Assurance Design documents many of the engineering and agility lessons learned.
Since then Cliff has helped with more than ten Agile or DevOps transformations, and is a DevOps trainer and subject matter expert. In 2020 Cliff assembled the global Agile 2 team to reimagine “Agile”, and was the lead author of the Agile 2 book. Cliff is certified in the Human Synergistics organizational culture assessment tools. He has degrees from Cornell University in Operations Research, Nuclear Engineering, and Physics.
