The
ChatGPT maker had made headlines in November, when CEO Sam
Altman was briefly ousted by the OpenAI board and reinstated
days later after more than 700 employees threatened to quit and
join backer Microsoft in solidarity.
After returning to his position, Altman said Microsoft would
take a non-voting, observer position on OpenAI's board.
The observer position means Microsoft's representative can
attend OpenAI's board meetings and access confidential
information, but Microsoft does not have voting rights on
matters including electing or choosing directors.
Templeton, a 25-year veteran at the tech giant, is currently
vice president for technology and research partnerships and
operations for the company, according to her LinkedIn profile.
The report added that she has already begun attending OpenAI
board meetings.
OpenAI and Microsoft did not respond to Reuters requests for
comment.
Agreeing to partly reconstitute the board of directors that had
dismissed Altman, OpenAI said Bret Taylor, formerly co-CEO of
Salesforce, and Larry Summers, former U.S. Treasury Secretary,
along with Quora CEO and current director Adam D'Angelo, would
be part of the board.
