Palantir Technologies (NASDAQ: PLTR), the data analytics giant, has announced the return of Jeffrey Buckley as its Chief Accounting Officer, effective March 24, 2025. The move follows a brief period where Chief Financial Officer David Glazer stepped in to fill the role after Heather Planishek resigned on February 25, 2025.
Buckley, 41, is no stranger to Palantir. He previously held the Chief Accounting Officer position at the company from September 2020 to February 2023. Most recently, he served in the same role at Human Interest, a private financial services firm. Before his first stint at Palantir, Buckley worked at Zynga (NASDAQ: ZNGA), rising to Chief Accounting Officer from 2017 to 2020. Mr. Buckley is also a Certified Public Accountant.
Under the new agreement, Buckley will earn an annual base of $400,000. He’ll also receive a restricted stock unit award worth $3.5 million, which will vest over time as long as he remains with the company.
The company’s board of directors views Buckley’s reappointment as a strategic move to bolster its financial leadership. With David Glazer continuing in his positions as Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, Buckley’s previous experience with Palantir and his professional accounting credentials are expected to enhance the strength and stability of the executive team.
Palantir Technologies (NASDAQ: PLTR) has confirmed that there are no familial relationships between Buckley and any current directors or executive officers of the company. Furthermore, no financial transactions involving Buckley require disclosure under Securities and Exchange Commission regulations. The company also noted that it anticipates Buckley will sign a standard indemnification agreement as part of his return to the role.
