Atlassian Expands Avani Solanki Prabhakar’s Role as Chief People and AI Enablement Officer

Atlassian has expanded the role of Avani Solanki Prabhakar, naming her Chief People and AI Enablement Officer, as the company strengthens its focus on aligning workforce strategy with artificial intelligence-driven transformation.

In her expanded mandate, Prabhakar will lead the convergence of people strategy and AI enablement, embedding AI not only as a technology capability but as a core element of organizational culture and ways of working. The move reflects a broader shift among enterprises toward integrating human capital strategy with emerging technologies to drive long-term transformation.

Prabhakar has been with Atlassian in multiple leadership roles, most recently serving as Chief People Officer. Prior to that, she led global talent and HR as Senior Vice President, shaping workforce strategy across geographies and business functions. Her elevation signals continuity in leadership while expanding the scope to include AI-driven change.

With experience spanning organizations such as Fuji Xerox Australia, British Airways, Genpact, and GE Capital, she brings a cross-industry perspective on managing large-scale transformation initiatives, talent development, and organizational design.

The expanded role comes at a time when companies are rethinking how AI impacts not just productivity, but also employee experience, skills development, and organizational structure. Atlassian’s approach indicates a more integrated model where people and AI strategies evolve in tandem rather than as separate functions.
