Chris Malone has left OpenAI after a year and a half as its head of data centers.
He is one of a number of executives to have left the company in recent months, while the business's data center team has also experienced multiple changes. The Wall Street Journal was first to report on the departure.
Malone joined from Meta, where he spent nearly five years as a distinguished engineer. Prior to that, he spent nearly 12 years at Google, focused on the company's data center infrastructure and IT hardware R&D.

At OpenAI, he worked alongside head of infrastructure and Meta alum Keith Heyde, until his departure earlier this year. Peter Hoeschele, who ran the Stargate joint venture, also left around that time, bringing several AI infrastructure senior leaders with him.
