OpenAI's communication chief steps down

• OpenAI Chief Communications Officer Hannah Wong is stepping down in the coming weeks
• Comms VP Lindsey Held Bolton will keep an eye on things while a replacement is found
• George Osborne recently joined OpenAI in a government liaison role

OpenAI Chief Communications Officer Hannah Wong has announced she will be leaving the company at the end of January, around a year and a half after her appointment in August 2024.

Wong joined OpenAI in 2021 from Apple when the company was still a small research lab, before interest in the company surged following the public preview release of ChatGPT.

Under her leadership, the company's communications team grew from around eight workers to more than 50 across the US, Europe, and Asia, but the time has come for OpenAI to find her replacement.
