OpenAI re-assigns management positions to the former Wiz President and Chief Operator, Dali Rajic. The change, which took place only nine months after Denise Dresser took office, also occurred after the company had experienced a series of high-level personnel adjustments in almost a month.

New executive from Wiz.

Greg Brockman announced his appointment in a corporate blog the same day. Prior to this, the Chief Operating Officer, Brad Lightcap, had left his post, and Fidji Simo, the senior manager responsible for AGI deployment, had withdrawn from core management positions. With these changes, Brockman took on additional management responsibilities within the company.

Rajic previously served as Managing Director and Chief Operating Officer of Cybersecurity Company Wiz. Wiz has been acquired this year by Google at $32 billion, one of the largest acquisitions to date.

Commercial pressure still exists.

In its note, Brockman states that OpenAI is at a rapidly changing stage in the way technology is deployed, and that the new head of the collection will translate the company ' s existing experience into a more replicable system of implementation and promote the broader orientation of AI towards individuals and businesses.

OpenAI states that its products currently cover more than 1 billion weeks of active users and 2 million business clients. Despite the continued expansion of user size and model capacity, several executives have previously mentioned, both in public and private, that the company has not met all of its revenue targets.

  • More than 1 billion active users per week
  • Business clients reached 2 million
  • New executive from Wiz Management

IPO personnel supplement

OpenAI had previously stated that documents had been submitted in confidence to the United States Securities and Exchange Commission for potential IPOs, but the specific time of listing remained unclear. Unlisted companies usually fill the executive team before entering the open market, and this appointment is also seen as part of the relevant preparations.

At the same time, OpenAI was able to buy back $7 billion worth of shares from employees this week through an offer to buy back some of their equity incentives. TechCrunch refers to the relevant background that this arrangement may also mean that the pace of company listing is not urgent.

It has also been reported that OpenAI has further shifted its focus this year towards enterprise deployment and has reduced some of the technical projects and experiments that are considered to divert resources. As management continues to restructure, the company ' s next focus is moving from a simple expansion of model impact to more direct commercial implementation and revenue conversion.
