OpenAI loses a top data center exec as stream of high-profile departures continues | TechCrunch

OpenAI 前数据中心负责人 Chris Malone 于上周离职，该公司正经历高管连续流失。Malone 曾负责执行由特朗普政府支持的、耗资 5 亿美元的 Stargate 项目数据中心战略，此前在 Meta 任职近五年、在 Google 任职超十年。OpenAI 方面称已重组基础设施组织以支持工作规模与速度，并强调现有团队经验丰富且领导力明确。Malone 不再直接向 OpenAI 总裁 Greg Brockman 汇报，转而向副总裁 Sachin Katti 汇报。此次变动并非孤例，今年已有超过十名高管离职，包括首席营收官 Denise Dresser、长期任职的 COO Brad Lightcap 以及产品与业务主管 Fidji Simo。
