Project Manager & Scrum Master at The Gnar Company
Salem, Oregon, United States
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolEthan Fertsch is a project manager and Scrum Master with nine years of experience transitioning from full-stack Ruby on Rails engineer to delivery leader at a custom software consultancy. He excels at pairing hands-on technical fluency with people-centered delivery—standing up Scrum on greenfield projects, acting as PM/PO/SM as needed, and managing complex, long-running engagements. He also drives internal leadership initiatives, shaping culture and filling organizational gaps through formal cross-functional delivery roles. Earlier technical leadership as a co-founder built a fan-support platform addressing income inequality in women’s sports, demonstrating product and business acumen beyond engineering. Comfortable in both client-facing stakeholder management and day-to-day sprint execution, he’s at his best as the connective tissue between engineering teams and the humans who depend on their work. When not shipping software, he’s likely trail-running in Maine, swimming in the ocean, or dancing under a disco ball.
