Barret Zoph Departs OpenAI Again After Just Five Months
The Verge AI·4 hours ago·Business
Barret Zoph, OpenAI's head of enterprise AI sales, has departed the company just five months after rejoining in mid-January. Zoph had previously left OpenAI to co-found Thinking Machines Lab — the AI startup launched by former OpenAI CTO Mira Murati — serving there as CTO before returning. His second departure adds to a pattern of executive churn at OpenAI amid an intensely competitive AI landscape.
