Phillip Jeffrey Hyett (born August 10, 1983) is an American software developer, technology entrepreneur, racing driver, and a co-founder of GitHub, an Internet hosting service for software development and version control using Git, which he created with Tom Preston-Werner and Chris Wanstrath in 2008. [1]

Contents

In 2022, Hyett founded an auto racing team, AO Racing in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship. [2] [3] He himself also competes in the IMSA LMP2 class and is a 24 Hours of Le Mans class winner.

Early life

Hyett was born on August 10, 1983, [4] and grew up in Naperville, Illinois. He earned a bachelor's degree in computer science from North Central College.

Career

After graduation, Hyett moved to San Francisco. He was a senior software engineer at CNET Networks, and then a partner at Error Free, before co-founding GitHub in 2008. [5]

Following the acquisition of GitHub by Microsoft in June 2018, Hyett's stake in the company had an estimated value of "close to $1 billion". [6] In 2021, his net worth was estimated at $1.6 billion. [7]

Personal life

Hyett is married to Kendra, who works in the non-profit sector, and has a bachelor's degree in English from North Central College. [8] [7] They have two children and live in west Chicago. [8]

In 2022, Hyett made his racing debut at the Watkins Glen circuit in the GT World Challenge America series, driving for Team Hardpoint alongside Gunnar Jeannette. [9] The duo subsequently partook in the final round of the Le Mans Cup prior to moving into the LMGTE Am class of the FIA World Endurance Championship. [10] Led by pro driver Ben Barnicoat, Hyett and Jeannette finished second on their first WEC outing at Bahrain. [11]

Having formed AO Racing in the autumn of 2022, the Hyett and Jeannette duo partnered with WEC outfit Team Project 1 to contest the full season in 2023. As well as that, Hyett took part in the GTD class of the IMSA SportsCar Championship, driving together with Sebastian Priaulx. [12] The campaign did not prove fruitful, as Hyett missed out on any podiums in addition to suffering a crash in qualifying which made him miss the 6 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps due to a back injury. [13] [14]

The American experienced a turnaround during the winter, where he partnered Paul-Loup Chatin and Harry Tincknell in the LMP2 class of the Asian Le Mans Series. [15] After two top-five finishes at Sepang, Hyett scored the first pole position of his car at the Dubai Autodrome. [16] Though he and his Proton Competition teammates finished a lowly eighth in the teams' standings, Hyett had demonstrated improved pace in the leadup to a full-time switch to the category, as he and Chatin paired up for AO Racing in the IMSA SportsCar Championship. [17]

Hyett also took part in the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2024, driving an AO Racing Oreca 07 run by TF Sport alongside Louis Delétraz and Alex Quinn. [18] In 2025, he won the LMP2 Pro-Am class and finished on the overall LMP2 podium. [19]
