About the session
At Atlassian, they commissioned research into how knowledge workers see their teams, what they believe they need to succeed, and what they lack. In addition to sharing key findings of this research, Molly will jump into how Atlassian is living and experimenting with this as they re-imagine the future of work. Join this session to learn and discuss what the most innovative teams are doing to find success and engage their teams.
About the speaker
Molly Hellerman is the Global Head of Innovation Programs at Atlassian. In this role, she drives strategic business decisions for Atlassian’s R&D team, partnering with the CTO and company leaders to inspire and operationalize greater innovation and scale.
During her 9+ years at Atlassian, Molly has focused on building and scaling new teams in undefined spaces. She was our first BizOps hire and most recently led Atlassian’s COVID-19 response and development of TEAM Anywhere, our distributed work policy. Prior to Atlassian, Molly’s experience shows that she isn’t afraid to flip a model on its head. From managing merger and acquisitions to commoditizing the online metal market in the U.K. to co-founding a non-profit – her thread of disruption runs deep. She’s also a former collegiate and professional athlete (Chelsea Ladies FC) and a trainer for Positive Coaching Alliance.
Molly currently serves as a Fellow to both the United Nations (Alliance of Civilizations) and the British Council (Transatlantic Network 2020). She holds an MBA from Harvard Business School and a BA in Economics and Spanish from Wellesley College.
