Why is OpenAI losing so many executives?

OpenAI's Chief Revenue Officer announced today that she is leaving the AI giant.

"I wanted to let you know that I made the difficult decision to leave OpenAI in the coming weeks to pursue other opportunities," said Denise Dresser, the now-former OpenAI CRO, in a post shared to her LinkedIn.

"I’m incredibly proud of all we’ve accomplished together and deeply grateful to the extraordinary people and customers who made this chapter so meaningful." On its own, Dresser's departure may not be so noteworthy.

However, what is notable is that Dresser is the second OpenAI executive to leave the company just this week, and one of several to leave the company within the last few months.

Over his years with the company, Lightcap wore many hats.

Lightcap was promoted to OpenAI's COO role in April but later shifted out of that position to lead special projects within the company.

“Over the last few months, I’ve been focused on the next horizon,” Lightcap said in a note to OpenAI employees, as reported by Bloomberg .

“I believe there are a few important things the world will need to get right as we enter this next period.

I’ll have more to share soon.” Just one month ago, OpenAI lost its number two executive, Fidji Simo.

Simo had gone on medical leave months earlier and said she ultimately decided to leave in July as a result of ongoing health issues.

Perhaps Simo would have stayed with the company if not for these circumstances.

That very same month, OpenAI head ethicist Chloé Bakalar departed the company as well.
