Raymond James initiates QXO stock with Outperform rating on acquisition strategy
Investing.com -- GitHub Chief Executive Thomas Dohmke announced Monday he will leave the Microsoft-owned code-hosting platform to launch a new startup.
Dohmke revealed his decision in a blog post, citing his "startup roots" as motivation for the move. "I’ve decided to leave GitHub to become a founder again," he wrote, though he did not share specific details about his upcoming venture.
The departing CEO joined Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) more than a decade ago after selling his startup to the tech giant. Before taking the helm at GitHub, Dohmke led mobile developer tools at Microsoft and played a key role in GitHub’s acquisition alongside former CEO Nat Friedman.
Microsoft acquired GitHub in 2018 in an all-stock deal valued at $7.5 billion.
