OpenAI Marketing Chief on Leave for Cancer Treatment - OpenAI's marketing head, Kate Rouch, is taking a three-month leave for invasive breast cancer treatment. Diagnosed early this year, she has been undergoing chemotherapy while managing her duties. She assures an excellent prognosis and aims to raise awareness about the life-saving potential of early detection.
Gary Briggs, Meta's former CMO, will temporarily fill her position. Rouch, who joined OpenAI in December after roles at Coinbase and Meta, encourages women to prioritize health screenings, noting alarming statistics on breast cancer prevalence and mortality.
