Tom Preston-Werner, the brash co-founder of popular code-sharing site GitHub and a former CEO of the company, has resigned amid a harassment investigation that found errors in judgment were made.
Preston-Werner had been the target of allegations that he and his wife had verbally harassed employee Julie Ann Horvath, with claims of sexism brought up last month. Horvath has since left the company.
"The investigation found no evidence to support the claims against Tom and his wife of sexual or gender-based harassment or retaliation or of a sexist or hostile work environment," said new CEO Chris Wanstrath, in a blog post today. "However, while there may have been no legal wrongdoing, the investigator did find evidence of mistakes and errors of judgment. In light of these findings, Tom has submitted his resignation, which the company has accepted."
