- Thibault Sottiaux is OpenAI's head of core products and oversees efforts to combine ChatGPT and Codex into a super app.
- Sottiaux previously worked at Google DeepMind and helped make AI coding one of OpenAI's fastest-growing businesses, per the profile.
Why it matters: OpenAI's consumer and developer product strategy is now consolidated under a single executive whose prior win — AI coding as one of the company's fastest-growing businesses — gives him direct credibility for the 'super app' bet. Merging ChatGPT and Codex in one product is a structural bet on one unified interface rather than standalone tools.
