Avani Prabhakar Chief People and AI Enablement Officer, Atlassian Led the people function since 2024 and added AI enablement to the remit in 2026

Avani Prabhakar is chief people and AI enablement officer at Atlassian, a title she took in 2026 after two years running the people function. The combined remit is unusual: the same executive owns the workforce and the internal adoption of AI, which the company frames as a longer running evolution rather than a consequence of the March 2026 restructuring. She owns hiring, retention and culture for roughly 17,000 employees working under the Team Anywhere policy across 15 countries, and now also the programmes that get those employees using Rovo and the company's own agents in their daily work.
