Why I’m excited to join GitKraken

Jim Shaw announces his appointment as GitKraken CEO, succeeding Matt Johnston after five years of company growth. Shaw says he joined because GitKraken addresses the challenge of helping software teams use AI-driven development capacity effectively while preserving context, quality, and control across multiple agents, models, and repositories. He highlights GitKraken Insights for measuring AI’s business and engineering impact and Kepler, an agentic development environment that enables developers to use multiple coding agents and preferred models across repositories. Shaw emphasizes the company’s commitment to developer choice rather than closed AI ecosystems, drawing on his systems-oriented experience in automotive and 15 years in leadership roles at Acquia, while pledging to learn how AI is creating both value and friction for customers.
