GitHub CEO Thomas Dohmke is stepping down after almost four years at the helm, citing his desire to return to founding startups. His resignation, announced Monday, marks a significant shift for the platform. Following Dohmke’s departure, Microsoft, GitHub’s parent company, will exert greater control. GitHub’s leadership team will now directly report to Microsoft’s CoreAI division, spearheaded by former Meta executive Jay Parikh. This organizational change signals Microsoft’s increasing integration of GitHub into its broader AI strategy and a closer alignment with its core technologies.
