OpenAI has just created an entirely new global function that's being led from London. It will be headed up by @LauraModiano and will be focused on helping startups build, grow and scale on OpenAI from Day 1, through their start-up journey. It will be a global function led from London and will span founder programs, technical activation, ecosystem partnerships, investor relationships and startup community engagement. It is amazing to see @OpenAI continue to develop its presence here and double down on London. Laura has become one of the most vocal and positive voices in European Tech and is overall such a powerful force for good in the ecosystem. This is great news for her and the ecosystem, so a huge CONGRATULATIONS to her.
