- Thomas Dohmke resigns from CEO of Github, in force by the end of 2025
- Github is closer to Microsoft because he aligned himself with Coreai affairs
- Microsoft CEO says that “internal organizational limits do not make sense” in any case
Github CEO Thomas Dohmke announced that he is resigning from CEO of the company while Microsoft is starting to bring Github closer to his Coreai team.
After this decision, Microsoft will not appoint a new CEO of Github and the company will no longer have a single leader, rather reporting directly on its Coreai division.
After a four -year stay, Dohmke will continue to serve as CEO until the end of 2025, but he referred to the plans to base a new startup.
Github’s CEO resigns, no new CEO in sight
Coreai, led by the former Meta Exec Jay Parikh, is Microsoft’s new division for the creation of AI platforms and tools.
“Github and his management team will continue his mission as part of the Corea organization in Microsoft,” wrote Dohmke.
The outgoing CEO also noted “proud of everything we have built as a distance organization” – it has recently been revealed that Microsoft could seek to increase his working days at the office, and it is not clear if Dohmke’s comment is a secret excavation to that.
With GitHub who was to line up more closely with Microsoft Coreai, we could assume that workers in the developer platform could be affected by future changes.
Speaking on the magnitude of GitHub, Dohmke mentioned that the platform now houses more than a billion rest and forks, more than 150 million developers and, more recently, more than 20 million co-pilot users.
“By launching this new age of developer AI, we allowed anyone – whatever the language they speak at home or how commonly they are in programming – to take their spark of creativity and transform it into something real,” he added.
When Satya Nadella launched Coreai, he explained that in addition to bringing together “Dev Div, an AI platform and certain key teams from the CTO office (AI Supercalculator, AI original racing times, and prosperous engineering),” he “was also building his Github independence”.
Nadella also noted: “We must remember that our internal organizational borders do not make sense to our customers and our competitors.”
