# Thank you, GitHub

## Summary

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.
