OpenAI Overhauling Management Amid IPO Preparation

According to the American 'Axios News Network', as the expected initial public offering approaches, OpenAI is adjusting its management team. Within just one month, several senior executives have resigned.

Sources familiar with the matter revealed that co-founder and president Greg Brockman is deeply involved in various aspects of the company's operations, working to build a new management team. He hopes to use this opportunity to overtake OpenAI in the corporate market, leading Anthropic in terms of market dominance.

According to reports, Denise Drexler, the chief revenue officer at OpenAI, is set to resign. She has been in this position for less than a year. Dali Rajic, the former president and chief operating officer of Wiz, will take over this key position.

Just the week after Dreiser announced his resignation, OpenAI's senior executive Brad Littke announced his departure as well. Ethics director Chloe Barcala, security systems director Johannes Heiderknecht, and chief futurist Joshua Archiam also left the organization at the same time.

OpenAI's second executive officer and Oteman's deputy, Fiji Simo, officially resigned last month after taking a long-term leave due to health reasons.

According to people familiar with the matter, Brockmann is now "returning to his founding role". The number of clients he visits and the internal teams he communicates with are much larger than in previous times. Another source suggests that this personnel change is seen as a delayed adjustment, aimed at removing management personnel whose performance fell short of expectations.
