About

I operate at the intersection of developer experience, platform strategy, and storytelling. As COO of GitHub, I lead company strategy, global brand, marketing, developer relations, and communications for the world’s largest developer platform. My work focuses on how we bring products to market, grow ecosystems, and tell the story of 180M developers building the future of software development on GitHub. After 12+ years at GitHub, I’ve seen every phase of the developer journey, from individual builders to the largest enterprises. I care deeply about how platforms earn trust, build community, and translate innovation into real-world impact powered by developers around the world. Today, that means shaping narratives around AI-powered development, platform evolution, and what’s next for builders, inside GitHub and across the Microsoft ecosystem.
