Billionaire Mike Cannon-Brookes, the CEO of Atlassian, expressed a conflicted stance about purchasing a private jet, emphasizing personal security and time management for family life. His LinkedIn post elaborated on the benefits of private flying, particularly for managing a global business while being present for his children. Despite understanding private aviation's environmental concerns, he noted it contributes minimally to CO2 emissions compared to other sectors. Cannon-Brookes remains dedicated to fighting climate change, having committed substantial funds to climate projects and advocating for sustainable energy transitions in Australia.
I'm not denying I have a deep internal conflict on this.
No matter how hard you work and how much money you have, you cannot buy more time.
Although private aviation is far from a big contributor to global emissions, it is a carbon-intensive way to travel.
I run a global business from Australia, and still be a constantly present dad.
