Economist Larry Summers, the former Obama and Clinton official, is joining an initial, revamped OpenAI board, as the company welcomes back CEO Sam Altman just days after he was ousted by the previous board. Summers brings leadership experience from politics, corporate boards and having served as former president of Harvard University. He currently sits on the board of Block, the company behind Cash App, and the software company Skillsoft. Prior to Salesforce, Taylor founded and led collaboration platform Quip, which Salesforce acquired for $750 million in 2016. He was one of the OpenAI board members who voted to oust Altman.
