OpenAI senior and continuous change data centre manager leaves the company

On 26 August, the Wall Street Journal reported that OpenAI, the key executive responsible for the expansion of the data centre, Chris Malone, had left last week. Marlon joined OpenAI in March 2025 for the construction of the data centre related to the Stargate project, which was promoted by OpenAI, ORCL.N and Soft Silver. According to sources, the Stargate project was not progressing well in its initial stages, and OpenAI then turned to working with cloud service providers. The company is currently re-engaging in-house infrastructure through the rental of a full data centre facility, but the related work has been taken over by other officials. At the time of Maroon ' s departure, OpenAI was undergoing a high-level adjustment and preparing for the anticipated IPO 2027. Chief Receiving Officer Dennis Dresser, Chief Operator Brad Wrightcap and Chief Executive Officer Figi Simo recently left. At the same time, OpenAI is increasing its computing capacity, and it is expected that by 2030 it will have reached approximately $750 billion in computing infrastructure expenditure, which is higher than previously projected at about $600 billion。
