Almost 3 years ago I joined Atlassian and what a journey it’s been. Meeting you all across the many developer and customer events from App Weeks to Summits to Open and more has been an absolute pleasure. It’s partners and developers like you that make this ecosystem so special and I’ve never worked with such a group of partners who are always willing to provide such candid and open feedback not to tear things down but how to improve and get better moving forward.
It’s bittersweet to say that I’ve accepted an external offer to join DocuSign’s Strategic Partnerships team and tomorrow, Friday, July 16, 2021 is my last day at Atlassian.
While 2020 was a trashy year and didn’t allow us the normality of meeting up and exchanging ideas in-person, most likely you’ll be seeing me at Atlassian events in 2022 asking the Atlassians many of the same questions you ask me and the Technical Partner Managers hahaha.
@david2@igordin - I think you 2 were the first Marketplace Partners I met in-person at that food court in the Mandalay Bay!
@nick@edave - I distinctly remember our impromptu meetup at Summit in Vegas hanging out on the beanie bags in the hallway outside of the session rooms.
@swilliams@jworsley@neal.riley@lhauser@jmort - Visiting your office in London was GORGEOUS and who could forget those loooooooong nights in Vienna at the Hilton bar.
@david.toussaint@dirk.roehrborn - Thanks for hosting me at your office in Dresden! Absolutely loved Dresden and to be honest I’d move there in a heartbeat over Munich or Berlin.
@roberto@jimmy - Drink more wine. Keep sending me pics, hopefully at the next Atlassian event we can make that wine tasting night happen and pop some older vintages.
@andreas.schmidt - I think I’ve seen you at EVERY Atlassian event that I’ve been to! Starting first at App Week Santa Cruz all the way to Open in Vienna.
@stefan - Co-presenter at Vienna Open! Such a shame that I never managed to visit Stuttgart afterwards
Thank you so much Justin for the work done. I remember the meeting in Vienna with Warren and you announcing to Flora and me a lot of changes and news of the marketplace. Nearly two years, but it seems five or six and that we knew each other a long time ago.
Thanks Justin, was real nice working with you! It was refreshing to see how you managed to always be available for smaller vendors and make sure to take our views into consideration while embarking on such great challenges like overhauling the Partner program. DocuSign is lucky to have you join them!
Thanks @jlau2 for your investment in the ecosystem in the past years! It was a pleasure to host you in Dresden as well, drop me note if you ever happen to come again
