"The AI talent wars show no signs of slowing, with companies making headlines weekly for their latest high-profile hires. This includes engineers they are poaching from each other or acqui-hiring but also, increasingly, senior executives that can support them as they scale up. Less than 10 days after Slack CEO Denise Dresser became OpenAI's chief revenue officer, former British finance minister George Osborne announced his was joining Sam Altman's company. Shortly thereafter, the crypto exchange Coinbase separately appointed Osborne to lead its internal advisory council."
"A former conservative Member of Parliament, George Osborne served as Chancellor of the Exchequer from 2010 to 2016 - a role equivalent to that of a finance minister or treasury secretary in other countries, and currently held by Rachel Reeves. After Prime Minister David Cameron resigned following the 2016 Brexit vote, Osborne eventually left public office in 2017. Alongside multiple other engagements, including a part-time advisory role for the investment firm BlackRock, he served as editor of the Evening Standard from 2017 to 2020."
AI companies continue aggressive hiring of senior executives and engineers, intensifying competition for talent. High-profile appointments include Slack CEO Denise Dresser becoming OpenAI chief revenue officer followed days later by former British finance minister George Osborne joining OpenAI and then taking an advisory role at Coinbase. Osborne will be managing director and head of OpenAI for Countries in London and will help expand and build partnerships. Osborne served as Chancellor of the Exchequer from 2010 to 2016, left public office in 2017, edited the Evening Standard from 2017 to 2020, and co-founded venture firm 9yards Capital.
