OpenAI has appointed Arvind KC as its new Chief People Officer, bringing deep technical and organizational leadership experience from Meta, Google, Palantir Technologies, and Roblox. KC's appointment comes as OpenAI navigates rapid growth while reshaping how work happens in an AI-driven world.

KC's background spans both engineering and people operations, making him uniquely positioned to help OpenAI scale its workforce while maintaining the culture that has driven its success. His experience building high-performing technical teams at major tech companies will inform how OpenAI approaches hiring, development, and organizational systems as it expands. The role becomes increasingly critical as AI transforms traditional workplace structures.

In his new position, KC will focus on developing people processes and policies that support OpenAI's ambitious goals while preserving its operational principles. He aims to create a model for how companies can adapt to AI-enabled work that expands human capabilities rather than replaces them. This includes evolving roles, developing new skills, and implementing education and re-skilling programs that keep pace with technological change.
