OpenAI data center chief becomes latest executive to leave

UPDATE: OpenAI's Head of Data Centers, Chris Malone, has left the company.
The departure comes while OpenAI is pursuing one of the most aggressive infrastructure expansions in the AI industry.
Data center leadership is increasingly important as frontier labs compete for power, compute capacity and deployment speed.
For OpenAI, another senior departure adds execution risk at a time when infrastructure spending is becoming central to its long-term strategy.
