Fidji Simo, OpenAI’s second-in-command, is stepping down from her full-time role due to a prolonged medical leave and will move to a part-time advisory position. She had joined OpenAI in 2025 as CEO of Applications, overseeing business and product operations, and was seen as a key leader for the company’s potential IPO. Her departure leaves CEO Sam Altman searching for a successor amid OpenAI’s efforts to expand its enterprise business and compete with rivals like Anthropic. Simo’s focus on growing OpenAI’s consumer business faced challenges as ChatGPT’s growth slowed and revenue targets were missed, prompting a strategic shift toward coding tools.
