OpenAI's head of data centers Chris Malone departs amid executive shakeups before 2027 IPO

Chris Malone, OpenAI's head of data centers, has left the company after joining in March 2025, marking another high-profile executive departure amid several others this year. Malone played a key role in overseeing OpenAI's infrastructure plans, including a $600 billion compute investment target by 2030. His exit comes as OpenAI faces growing scrutiny over data center expansion and prepares for a planned IPO in 2027. Despite the departures, OpenAI leadership says the company remains well-equipped to execute its ambitious plans.
