Former GitHub CEO Thomas Dohmke joins AI security startup Apiiro
Thomas Dohmke, who led GitHub until this year, is now advising Apiiro—a startup focused on making AI-generated code safer for companies.
He will focus on helping Apiiro build tools that catch security risks in software written by AI, so businesses can worry less about vulnerabilities.
Why this matters
Dohmke is genuinely concerned that AI coding tools might skip important company rules or open up new risks.
That's where Apiiro steps in—they offer a platform that keeps an eye on code and helps teams stay secure and compliant automatically.
The company, run by cybersecurity expert Idan Plotnik, has already pulled in over $100 million from major investors.
As Dohmke puts it, "The future of software development will be driven by AI—it's crucial to make sure it's secure."
