Kyle is Chief Operating Officer at GitHub, leading teams responsible for culture, developer outreach, operations, and communications. Joining GitHub in 2013, Kyle built and scaled GitHub’s ecosystem engineering teams and worked on the acquisitions of Semmle, npm, and others. Eleven years (and many ships) later, Kyle is just as committed to driving growth across the business and its people, leading GitHub’s own AI adoption strategy across a workforce of 3,000+ talented Hubbers. As a developer himself, Kyle is passionate about bringing software practices to operations and works to preserve and grow the spirit of GitHub as an AI-integrated, developer-first company. Prior to GitHub, Kyle took on developer-focused challenges as an engineering and product leader in startups, working in FinTech, real estate, and consulting. When he isn’t collaborating with Hubbers and customers, he’s building home automations with Home Assistant, working with nonprofits to make technology available and accessible to all, gaming (hello Xbox), and traveling with family.
