David Tomov-Strock is a Senior Business Analyst at MentorMate (part of Tieto Tech Consulting) with a decade of experience across sectors including healthcare, insurance, and higher education. David has learned that success rarely comes from a perfectly phrased user story; it comes from the ability to stay adaptable when a project inevitably goes sideways.

Based in Bulgaria, David is known for a pragmatic, slightly skeptical take on industry dogma. He has spent years mentoring analysts and designing promotion assessments with a focus on the human realities of the role: navigating difficult stakeholders, avoiding “order taking,” and delivering real value. On stage, David brings an engaging, story-driven style to the stage while sharing his own past mistakes so that his audience doesn’t have to repeat them.
