Pro Weekly: Where AI Employees Are Moving
Earlier this week, my colleagues Stephanie, Jon and Amir broke the news of another leadership shake-up at OpenAI. Greg Brockman, president, is on a leave of absence. Peter Deng, president of consumer product, and John Schulman, a co-founder and scientific lead for advancement, are departing; Schulman is joining Anthropic’s technical staff. We’ve reflected these changes in our OpenAI and Anthropic Org Charts.
There’s been a lot of turnover in the top ranks at OpenAI since the aborted effort last year to oust CEO Sam Altman. We’ve reported the hiring of Sarah Friar as chief financial officer, Kevin Weil as chief product officer and Giancarlo Lionetti as sales strategy leader. We’ve also reported the departure of founding researcher Andrej Karpathy, among others.
