to change the project lead for JIRA server

Project Settings > Users and roles > Edit Defaults (link on upper right hand side)


you will get a pop-up and can change the Project Lead there

Okay .. you can change it to navigating through the respective project setting --> details.

on the project details page at the bottom, you can find the project lead and change it.
