This morning, I sent the following post to the GitHub team. TL;DR: I’m moving on to my next adventure, and Thomas Dohmke (currently Chief Product Officer) will be GitHub’s next CEO.

I’m moving on to my next adventure, and Thomas Dohmke will be GitHub’s next CEO. I will become Chairman Emeritus, which fulfills my lifelong ambition of having a title in Latin. My heartfelt thanks to every Hubber and every developer who makes GitHub what it is, every day.

Thank you, GitHub

If being appointed to become GitHub’s CEO was the equivalent of an IPO, and the number of Twitter followers of the new CEO were the stock price, I would have been so bullish on that listing. Good luck! 🙌

Can’t thank GitHub enough!
Also, he will now be Chairman Emeritus 🙌
Yes, Latin :)

Thanks for all your contributions to open source!

Thanks for all the amazing work Nat!
