ACE LA Monthly Lean Coffee

Details

Welcome to the ACE LA monthly virtual Lean Coffee, where we embrace a unique approach to meetings that fosters creativity and collaboration. This structured, agenda-less format allows participants to come together, propose topics of interest, and vote on what they would like to discuss.

Event Details 

Format: Each session begins with attendees suggesting topics, followed by a democratic voting process to prioritize discussions. Conversations are directed and productive, ensuring everyone has the opportunity to contribute.

Community Focus: Whether you're an Atlassian user, developer, or enthusiast, this is your chance to connect with like-minded individuals, share insights, and solve problems collaboratively.

 Join us on the third Thursday of each month as we create a space where ideas flourish and collectively grow as a community.

They have coached and taught over 100 high school, college, and post-collegiate a cappella groups in performance and teamwork since 2007, and have been a judge with Varsity Vocals, which produces the International Championships of High School and Collegiate A Cappella tournaments each year, as seen in the Lifetime series, "Pitch Slapped" and the POP TV series, "Sing It On." They are the cohost of the podcasts Unsolicited: Fatties Talk Back and Technically Queer, and they recently completed 17 years of active volunteer service with Delta Lambda Phi Social Fraternity, North America's oldest and largest fraternity for queer individuals, where they most recently served as Executive Director and CEO for the past five years.

Cameron Starman, Sr. Director, Client Management

Cameron is currently the Sr. Director of Client Management for Clovity an Atlassian and AI solutions company. He has been running Clovity's Atlassian practice for over 7 years from a sales perspective and has now become an integral part of solutioning, client communication, and process transformation within the technical practice for IT and non-IT use cases for the last 2 years. Cameron approaches each use case from a dual perspective of software as well as social engineering, ensuring neither the software products or teams we work with are stretched too far out of their comfort zone. This balance drives modernization and adoption while avoiding burnout as well as onboarding fatigue. Before Clovity, he came from the world of technology and dev team building where he witnessed firsthand the need for strong collaboration, goal attainment, and Agile methodologies which only drives his endeavours today.
