Software Company Atlassian Taps LinkedIn Executive as New Finance Chief

Enterprise software company Atlassian announced Wednesday that it has selected James Chuong to serve as its next chief financial officer, with the appointment taking effect March 30.

The 46-year-old executive brings extensive financial leadership experience from his current role as finance chief at LinkedIn, which operates as a Microsoft subsidiary.

Before joining LinkedIn, Chuong built his career in investment banking, holding positions at major Wall Street institutions such as J.P. Morgan, Citigroup, and Bank of America Securities.

The leadership transition comes after Atlassian announced last October that current CFO Joe Binz planned to step down from his position, with his retirement scheduled for June 30.
