Manage episode 307931687 series 2993969
Dave Melgaard leads a team of testing experts at Idea Science to find optimum solutions for clients and strengthen testing capabilities.

He held the position of Trumpet Master with the Slovenian National Opera and Ballet Orchestra before returning to Australia to build a new career in business.
QUOTES
“So many of the skills you learn in music are so useful in business.”
“In sales, you can sell a big job or something important and this feeds 4 or 5 or 30 people for the next year. I find meaning in that. It’s not just about me playing the trumpet.”
“Now I work in IT and fundamentally, running a band isn’t that dissimilar from running an IT shop.”
“As much as you love Puccini, once you’ve played it 400 times it becomes a bit tedious.”
