OpenAI数据中心战略负责人Chris Malone于上周离开公司，结束了其自去年3月加入以来约一年的任期 1。在加入OpenAI之前，Malone曾在Meta工作近五年，并在Google任职超过十年 1。他的离职正值OpenAI重组基础设施组织，该公司表示已“最近重组”其“基础设施组织以支持我们工作的规模和速度” 1。在此次重组中，Malone的汇报线发生调整，不再直接向OpenAI总裁Greg Brockman汇报，转而向副总裁Sachin Katti汇报 1。与此同时，OpenAI原计划于今年进行的IPO据报已推迟至2027年 1。在数据中心业务方面，Stargate Project是一项由特朗普政府推动的5亿美元数据中心计划，OpenAI、Oracle、Nvidia、SoftBank和Microsoft是该计划的关键合作伙伴 1。
Malone的离开是OpenAI近期高管离职潮的最新一例 1。据Business Insider统计，2026年离职高管总数为13人 1。两周前，任职约八个月的首席营收官Denise Dresser被替换 1。任职多年的首席运营官Brad Lightcap离职，称将“开始新事业” 1。约一个月前，实际上的二号人物Fidji Simo因“慢性疾病”卸任，转任顾问 1。7月，OpenAI“伦理负责人”Chloé Bakalar离职 1。首席营销官Kate Rouch于4月因健康原因离职 1。Sora前负责人Bill Peebles因项目关闭而离职 1。此外，上周OpenAI解散了负责评估AI模型灾难性风险的preparedness团队 1。
Chris Malone, OpenAI’s head of data center strategy, departed the company last week after approximately one year, having initially joined in March of last year 1. His exit marks the latest development in a broader trend of executive turnover, with Business Insider counting a total of 13 executive departures in 2026 1. Prior to his tenure at OpenAI, Malone spent nearly five years at Meta and over a decade at Google 1.
Malone’s departure occurs as OpenAI restructures its infrastructure organization. OpenAI stated it has "recently restructured" its "infrastructure organization to support the scale and speed of our work" 1. Following this reorganization, his reporting line shifted from OpenAI President Greg Brockman to Vice President Sachin Katti 1. The leadership shakeup comes as the company, which originally planned to go public this year, is reportedly postponing its initial public offering to 2027 1. Meanwhile, OpenAI remains a key partner in the Stargate Project, a $500 million data center initiative backed by the Trump administration, with OpenAI, Oracle, Nvidia, SoftBank, and Microsoft as key partners 1.
The recent wave of departures has affected multiple top-tier leaders across the organization. Just two weeks ago, Chief Revenue Officer Denise Dresser was replaced after roughly eight months, while Chief Operating Officer Brad Lightcap left after years of service, stating he will "start a new venture" 1. Additionally, Fidji Simo, considered the de facto number two executive, stepped down about a month ago due to a "chronic illness" to transition into an advisory role 1. Other notable exits this year include former Sora head Bill Peebles following the project's closure, Chief Marketing Officer Kate Rouch who left in April for health reasons, and "head of ethics" Chloé Bakalar who departed in July 1. In a separate organizational shift, OpenAI also disbanded its preparedness team, which was responsible for evaluating catastrophic risks associated with AI models, last week 1.
