Top School

Julia Wester is a Lean-Agile leader, trainer, and founder with over eight years of experience helping cross-functional teams — from engineering to marketing and sales — become happier, more effective, and customer-value focused. As Co-CEO of 55 Degrees and co-founder of multiple consultancies, she blends hands-on web-development roots with strategic coaching, product education, and operational improvements at scale. A certified Scrum/Kanban trainer and LinkedIn Learning instructor, she designs and delivers workshops, courses, and coaching that prioritize context-sensitive, "lagom" solutions rather than dogmatic frameworks. Her background managing web teams at companies like F5 and Turner gives her practical experience balancing production support, APIs and feature delivery across diverse tech stacks. She spends much of her time supporting ActionableAgile customers—answering support, creating content, and running global events—so she’s as comfortable in the day-to-day trenches as she is on the conference stage. Unusually for a tech leader, her foundation in music education informs a teaching-first approach that shapes how she facilitates learning and organizational change.
