As OpenAI prepares for its IPO, it is entering a critical juncture. Since 2026, at least 13 executives and business leaders have left OpenAI. On one hand, the business continues to grow rapidly, with annual revenue surpassing $40 billion, and enterprise revenue for the first time exceeding consumer revenue; on the other hand, the company's core management team is undergoing continuous adjustments. For a company sprinting toward going public while rapidly expanding its business scale, the frequent departures of core executives have naturally raised concerns about the stability of its management team.
