OpenAI has lost another key executive as Malone, a top data center executive, departed the company amid ongoing senior leadership turnover. The departure follows an internal reshuffle within OpenAI's infrastructure organization. Prior to Malone's exit, OpenAI had adjusted his reporting structure away from President Greg Brockman and placed Vice President Sachin Katti in charge of the infrastructure team. The movement comes as OpenAI continues to manage high computing demands, expand global data center capacity, and navigate executive departures across its technical, research, and infrastructure divisions.
