Hi, I’m Andrew, I’m an evangelist at Atlassian. I love to explore new ways of working that make teams happier and organizations successful. Transitioning from project management to people leadership, to becoming a leader of leaders, my two goals have always been; to create an environment where teams thrive and do their best work, and to exceed the goals of the organization I serve. My leadership experience has helped me confirm that these goals are not only complementary but perpetuate each other. These two goals are what first attracted me to Agile and DevOps; both aim to break down organisational barriers and bring teams together to achieve incredible outcomes. Prior to working at Atlassian, I was lucky enough to work with some real visionaries, and together we established and led a platform engineering team for 7 years. We supported over 7,000 engineers and contributed to the success of Australia’s largest and most innovative bank. I’m excited to share some of those learnings with other organizations looking to setup their own platform engineering teams. My career started in Project Management where I delivered a wide variety of projects across multiple Australian tier 1 organizations, winning lots of awards for delivery excellence. I spent 3.5 years on the ops side as a Service Delivery Manager. This experience gave me the rare ability to speak both Dev and Ops which enabled me to spend time helping both types of teams break down barriers, build empathy, and lean into each-others challenges - which had great results for the business, our customers, and the teams themselves. You could imagine my excitement when DevOps became a thing! I have had the privilege of leading several large teams throughout my career and learned a lot along the way, some of my leadership beliefs are: * Culture > than anything else, teams > individuals * All new leaders should be supported with coaching and Organisational Behaviour training * Authentic leadership is what works best for, and with me I’m a husband and a father of two awesome little humans who keep my world balanced between monster trucks and unicorns. I love to dismantle and reassemble Harley Davidson motorbikes, and even ride them from time to time. I speak both Dev and Ops fluently, feel free to DM me in either.
