Jill Hazelbaker will join OpenAI as Chief Corporate Affairs Officer, leading the company’s global communications and corporate positioning to strengthen trust and public understanding of AI.
Jill joins from Uber, where she served as President and Chief Corporate Affairs Officer and oversaw the company’s global communications, marketing, public policy, safety, and people teams.
She brings close to two decades of experience advising technology companies and political leaders, having worked at organisations including Google and Snap.
Greg Brockman, Co-Founder & President of OpenAI, said: “As AI becomes part of more people’s lives, how we communicate, engage, and earn public trust has never been more important.
”Jill brings exceptional judgment, seasoned leadership, and a deep understanding of the opportunities and responsibilities that come with building technology at global scale. She’s exactly the kind of leader we need for this next chapter, and I’m thrilled to welcome her to OpenAI.”
Jill added: “AI represents the most profound technological shift of our lifetime. The stakes are enormous, the possibilities are extraordinary, and the work of building public trust has never been more consequential. I could not be more excited to work alongside Sam, Greg, and the outstanding team they’ve assembled to help OpenAI meet the moment.”
