Former OpenAI executive joins $1.34 bn ‘SpaceX competitor’ Sam Altman wanted
April brought major leadership losses for OpenAI. In a single day, Sam Altman’s artificial intelligence startup suffered a significant shakeup as three senior executives announced their departures from the company. One of those tech veterans was Kevin Weil, the vice president of OpenAI for Science.
Weil, who has served in numerous roles across tech giants Twitter, Meta and Planet Labs in addition to OpenAI, has now switched paths and joined the board of Stoke Space, a Seattle startup building reusable rockets led by CEO Andy Lapsa.
