Which CEOs will be out before 2027?Sam Altman - OpenAI

Greg Brockman on @SquawkCNBC with @andrewrsorkin earlier, responding to OpenAI C-suite shakeup questions: • • SORKIN: Greg, let me ask you a broader question about what’s happening at OpenAI right now, because there have been a number of departures that have been very visible. Fidji Simo at the top. Your CRO effectively left and then was replaced last week. Brad Lightcap, who had been at the company for a very long time and had been the operating chief for quite a long time, left. The head of ethics, after about a year, left. • • What is happening right now, and what should the public take away from this? • • BROCKMAN: Look, I would say that the number one thing we are doing is really focusing. • • We have a strategy, a mission and a set of priorities that we’re executing on. And throughout this whole year, you’ve seen the impacts of that. We’ve really been trying to figure out: How do we bring together our consumer and enterprise businesses to be really unified? • • You’ve seen that with things like ChatGPT Work. You can see that we’re at this inflection point as a business. • • In July, our revenue grew 20% month over month. Within just the enterprise category, 32% growth there. So you can really see that we are moving to create the best possible models, deliver value for our customers and really try to scale systematically to every— • • SORKIN: But Greg, just so we’re on the same page, because I think people are looking at this and they’re asking questions... The chief revenue officer is obviously a hugely important role. I think people are saying to themselves: You hired somebody for that role. They left, and you replaced them. Was that because they weren’t doing it right and you wanted to replace them? Is that because they didn’t like what was going on and wanted to leave on their own? • People asked the same question about Brad. They asked the same question about Fidji.. Can you speak to this? • • BROCKMAN: Yes. Look, I’d say fundamentally that we are a very resilient organization. • • If you look over the years, there have been different eras where we have had different sets of leaders in place. I’m a constant. Sam is a constant. And I think that we are stronger because of that resilience and diversity. • • My view has always been that I try to work with the best people for that moment, and that we have people who have been here for a very long time, laboring behind the scenes, who don’t make the headlines as much. • • Maybe my core point would be: I actually think the difference between OpenAI and other organizations is that we are so much in the spotlight. Every departure gets scrutinized in a way that it doesn’t otherwise. • I actually don’t think it’s that atypical, how we operate and the longevity of people. • • But I would say that we have an amazing leadership bench. I’m super excited about the team that we’re working with. Just over the past year, I look at the set of leaders that I’ve had the pleasure of really being able to elevate and continue to work with, and will work with for the long term. I feel extremely good about that bench and where we’re going.
