James Chuong has been appointed as the new Chief Financial Officer (CFO) for Atlassian, with his tenure beginning on March 30. He succeeds Joe Binz, who had announced his retirement effective June 30 to focus on personal matters.

This leadership transition occurs as Atlassian has demonstrated recent financial optimism. Earlier this month, the company elevated its fiscal 2026 revenue forecast. This positive revision reflects confidence in enterprise clients' continued spending on Atlassian's software solutions for team management, work tracking, and data analysis.
