He ran GitHub through its most consequential years after Microsoft's acquisition, then pivoted to the AI frontier - now building product at Meta Superintelligence Labs while sitting on the board at Arc Institute and advising Midjourney.

The whole youth-idolatry oh-god-not-another-birthday thing has to be the most sure-fire way to be unhappy about the way things are progressing in your life.

If ordinary people can really figure out how to set the alarm at a hotel, then we are going to make OpenOffice default to vi keybindings in the next Novell Linux Desktop.

About this person

Nathaniel Dourif Friedman was born 6 August 1977. He came up through open source, chairing the GNOME Foundation before the executive track pulled him in. Microsoft handed him GitHub as CEO after buying it, a bet that he could steer the developer platform without breaking what made it work. He did that, then left. The next chapter put him at the center of the AI build-out: head of product at Meta Superintelligence Labs, with a board seat at Arc Institute and an advisor role at Midjourney. He's also an investor, though the source doesn't say in what.
