OpenAI Consolidates Product and Infrastructure Under Brockman

Greg Brockman, OpenAI's CTO since 2015, now leads both AI infrastructure and product strategy. The shift follows OpenAI's merger of ChatGPT and Codex into a single platform—a move signaling the company's turn from building individual tools toward unified, enterprise-grade systems. Brockman's trajectory from Stripe CTO to AI executive mirrors a broader industry pattern: the center of gravity has moved from research to building products that customers actually use.
