Org Charts
This Org Chart shows more than 30 people with power at OpenAI, reflecting the leaders remaining after the departures of senior technical and research leaders in recent years.
OpenAI has more than 3,000 employees.
Some key players are not immediately at the top of the org chart, such as co-founder Greg Brockman, who reports to Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman and spends most of his time writing code.
Many technical staff previously worked at other tech companies with large machine-learning research units, such as Alphabet’s Google and Deepmind, Nvidia and Meta Platforms.
