After an amazing 3+ years, I’m bidding farewell to GitHub. I’ve had so much fun helping to secure the platform that millions of developers love and the home for open source software. Those that know me well know that I’ve always loved building tools, teams, and solutions to help others build (and secure) amazing things - so coming to GitHub and helping to lead the security team has been an absolute blast. I’ve gotten to work with and learn from amazing Hubbers (GitHub employees), grow as a person, and deepen my experience as a security leader. A heartfelt thank you to all those hubbers I have had the privilege to work alongside - your dedication and passion to make the world a better place are so inspiring. I will continue to cheer you on as a GitHub superfan! Stay tuned for updates on what’s next!
Will miss partnering with you, but wishing you the best!
You have been a great peer, mentor, manager, and friend! Looking forward to seeing what you do next.
Best of luck Jacob! It is was great working with you!
Jacob, it was such a pleasure getting to know and work with you. I am glad we had that last hurrah, out to Moline together. Thanks for all that you did here at GitHub. Good luck and congratulations!
Jacob, I’ve learned so much from you these past three years. Thank you for always being such an incredible partner and a genuinely good human being. Wishing you all the best luck in your future endeavour (and selfishly hoping you boomerang back to GitHub!) 🙏🏼
The best of the best
Was great working with you! Can’t wait to see what you do next!
I can tell you, first hand, how many times you alone made such a significant impact with our customers. Your ability to listen, empathize and then offer perspective on our view of best practices made such a material impact for our customers and my team - we thank you Jacob DePriest and you'll be missed. I hope to see you on Rocky Top someday - GO VOLS!
Can't wait for what's next!
Thanks for your partnership! Enjoyed working aling side you! Best of luck in your next adventure.
