Fidji Simo It is wrapping its first week in Openai, where it is expected to oversee most of the company’s 3,000 employees.
For investors and partners, the Openai leaders are describing the CEO of former Instacart, the way the company needs a stable hand. His mandate is clear: convert a chaotic, unique startup into a disciplined, publicly trading tech. On paper, she looks well favorable. She lived through Facebook’s Hyper-Goth era in the early 2010s, helped to make instaccart public, and knew the advertising industry inside and out-Anubhav that would be valuable after coming into advertising chat.
The arrival of Simo also underlines a big innings inside Openai. It is clear that CEO Sam Altman The next Big Tech does not want the responsibilities of running the company. He focuses more on incubation of a brain-computer-interface startups than to increase dollar trillions for large-scale counting projects and manage day-to-day operations. I participated with him last week in dinner, he burnt a “new type of financial instrument” to bang the ambitions of OpenIAI’s data center.
When I asked if he had imagined OpenaiI, it finally resembles the alphabet, where the search benefit controls a constellation of experimental bets, he did not hesitate to hesitate about the need of another leader. “We have a large consumer technology company. We have this mega-scale infrastructure project for humanity. We have a research lab. And then we have all the new items- robots, devices, BCI, crazy ideas. I can’t run four companies. It’s an open question if I can run one, but I can definitely not run four.”
For now, Altman will be involved in calculating Openai directly, research and consumer hardware efforts Johnny EveNew BCI Startup She is co-founder with World CEO Alex Blulania Will sit completely outside the openi. Inside the company, his direct report is expected to be President Greg Brockman (Deal takes care of scaling efforts like WHO Stargate), Chief Research Officer Mark chainchief scientist Jakub PachokiConsumer hardware VP Peter WelinderAnd heads of security Johannes Hedake,
Meanwhile, Simo would inherit the responsibility of what the part of Altman Openi’s “big consumer technology” says. Although reporting lines have not been finalized, it is expected to take care of COOs Brad LicapCFO Sara fryerCPO Kevin WayleSoftware engineering chief Srinivas NarayananAnd leaders of marketing, policy, legal and HR.
It will not be an easy team to manage. Many of these officers are already closely associated with Altman (Lightcap) or have been the CEO (Vel and Fire) themselves. At the top of it, Simo will need to change the officer of the main people. Julia VillagraWhich was promoted only in March, but announced this week that she is “leaving to use art, music, and storytelling to help people better understand the infection for AGI.”
The official title of Simo – CEO of applications – is revealing. Today, Openai has only one app: Chatgpt. Next is likely to be a browser, while the first mood under his watch will probably be the link related to the chatgipt’s shopping results, which may be launched soon as this fall.
Familize with employees and A Blog post last month With AGI-I optimism, SIMO has not given a public vision for the consumer strategy of Chatgpt or Openai. This is only a week, and she is still getting with teams and getting up to speed. But looking at the velocity on which Openai runs, it will not be too long before we will hear more than that.
