Atlassian executive team overview
Atlassian has 9 tracked executives leading key functions including company strategy and operations, financial strategy, technology strategy and engineering, revenue and commercial operations (as of August 2026). Atlassian Corporation is an American incorporated, Australian founded software company whose products help software, IT and business teams plan, build and support their work together. Mike Cannon-Brookes and Scott Farquhar founded the company in Sydney in 2002 and funded the first years on customer revenue rather than venture capital, an origin that still shapes a low touch, self serve go to market motion. Class A common stock trades on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the ticker TEAM, the company is incorporated in Delaware, and its principal executive offices sit on the 13th floor of 350 Bush Street in San Francisco while its largest single office remains in Sydney. The portfolio covers Jira, Confluence, Jira Service Management, Bitbucket, Trello, Loom, Jira Align and the Rovo family of AI agents, now stitched together by the Teamwork Graph, a shared context layer that the company opened to third party AI agents in May 2026. Fiscal year 2026, which ended June 30, 2026, closed with revenue of 6.57 billion dollars, up 26 percent year over year, free cash flow of 1.32 billion dollars and subscription annual recurring revenue of 6.61 billion dollars, up 23 percent. Fourth quarter revenue reached 1.77 billion dollars, up 28 percent, with cloud revenue growing 31 percent and a GAAP operating margin of 12 percent. More than 350,000 customers and over 85 percent of the Fortune 500 use its software. The year was not only growth: in March 2026 the company eliminated roughly 10 percent of its roles in a restructuring aimed at funding AI and enterprise sales, and it booked 225 to 236 million dollars of charges for it. Work itself is distributed under a policy the company calls Team Anywhere, which lets the vast majority of employees choose home, office or a mix across 15 countries.

He ran the company as co-chief executive officer for more than twenty years and became its sole chief executive officer on August 31, 2024, when Farquhar stepped down from the role and stayed on the board. Under his leadership Atlassian reached 6.57 billion dollars of revenue in fiscal year 2026 and moved its centre of gravity to cloud and AI, opening the Teamwork Graph to third party agents and pushing the Rovo agent family into the enterprise.

He joined from LinkedIn, where he had been chief financial officer since July 2021 after eight years of finance leadership roles covering financial planning and analysis, business operations, international finance and financial systems.

Taroon Mandhana · full profile →
Chief Technology Officer, Teamwork
Taroon Mandhana is chief technology officer for Teamwork at Atlassian, a role he was promoted into in March 2026 when the company split the former single chief technology officer post in two. He previously led engineering for AI and products, and he now owns the engineering organisation behind the flagship apps, including Jira, Confluence and Loom, alongside the Rovo agents and the Teamwork Graph context layer that the company opened to third party AI agents in May 2026.
Vikram Rao · full profile →
CTO, Enterprise and Chief Trust Officer
Vikram Rao holds two roles at Atlassian, chief technology officer for Enterprise and chief trust officer, both of which he was promoted into in March 2026. He owns the enterprise engineering agenda and the trust agenda together, which in practice means the security, governance and compliance work that large regulated customers require before they will run agents across their organisation. That scope covers deliveries such as Isolated Cloud, the dedicated and physically separate cloud environments the company made generally available in fiscal year 2026, and the advanced AI admin controls that let large organisations enable Rovo while meeting legal and privacy obligations.
Brian Duffy · full profile →
Chief Revenue Officer
Brian Duffy is the chief revenue officer of Atlassian, in post since January 1, 2025. He arrived from SoftwareOne, where he was chief executive officer from May 2023 to October 2024, and before that he spent eighteen years at SAP SE, latterly as president of the Cloud business from February 2021 to March 2023 and president of EMEA North from September 2017 to March 2021. He owns the enterprise sales motion that the March 2026 restructuring was explicitly designed to fund, alongside the low touch self serve motion the company was built on. He holds a bachelor of international law from University College Dublin and a master of laws from the University of Illinois Chicago School of Law.
Ken Exner · full profile →
Chief Product Officer, Enterprise and Emerging
Ken Exner joined Atlassian on August 4, 2026 as chief product officer for Enterprise and Emerging, leading product strategy across four collections, Service, Strategy, Product and Software, and owning the security, governance and compliance offerings that public sector and enterprise buyers need before deploying company wide. He brings more than thirty years in developer and management tools. He was among the first forty employees at Amazon Web Services and helped create many of its early services, and he most recently ran the Search, Observability and Security businesses at Elastic, where he helped roughly double annual recurring revenue to close to 2 billion dollars.
Avani Prabhakar · full profile →
Chief People and AI Enablement Officer
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.
Stan Shepard · full profile →
General Counsel
Stan Shepard is general counsel of Atlassian and signs the company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission from San Francisco. The legal remit spans a company incorporated in Delaware, listed on Nasdaq, founded and still heavily staffed in Australia, and operating under a distributed work policy across 15 countries, which puts employment law in multiple jurisdictions squarely inside the job. The March 2026 restructuring was executed subject to local law and consultation requirements country by country, and the acquisitions of The Browser Company, DX and Secoda between September and December 2025 all closed under his tenure.
Scott Farquhar · full profile →
Co-Founder and Board Member
Scott Farquhar co-founded Atlassian in Sydney in 2002 with Mike Cannon-Brookes and served as co-chief executive officer for twenty two years, stepping down from the executive role on August 31, 2024.

During his tenure as co-chief executive the company listed on Nasdaq, moved its business from perpetual licences to cloud subscriptions and grew past five billion dollars of annual revenue.
