I know superlative-maxxing is real thing, but - I AM thrilled to welcome @ianspalter as Atlassian's new SVP and Head of Design for Teamwork Collection. Even if you're not a designer, you have probably felt Ian’s influence on modern software experiences. He led design at Instagram through much of its meteoric rise, later running the Instagram Japan business. Not to mention his stellar contributions at YouTube, Foursquare, and R/GA. Ian brings an exacting bar for simplicity and craft, paired with a wonderfully calm presence. I've always found that leaders with that balance are exceedingly rare. And the people who’ve worked with Ian always talk about the environment that he creates - one where the team can be clear-eyed, ambitious, with a sense of being deeply supported. Teamwork Collection is something that we believe can benefit everyone who uses a computer at work - so they can do their best work. This means continuously refining the experience, so it handles the messiness of real work, and helps creative a sense of collective flow in the team. I honestly could not think of anyone better than Ian to help realise that ambition. Stoked to be working with this awesome human 🤙
