Excited to share that I’ve joined OpenAI to help build the future of financial intelligence. My focus is connecting models directly to the data sources, tools, and workflows analysts use every day. My team’s first product is the Excel plugin. After software engineering, finance will see the benefits of model improvements more acutely than almost any other field. This is just the start for us! More to come soon!



GPT-5.4 Thinking and GPT-5.4 Pro are rolling out now in ChatGPT. GPT-5.4 is also now available in the API and Codex. GPT-5.4 brings our advances in reasoning, coding, and agentic workflows into one frontier model.




GPT-5.3-Codex is now available in Codex. You can just build things. openai.com/index/introduc…










Hi, some personal news - I’m changing job. I recently asked myself the question: what’s the most exciting and promising company in the world right now? The answer I believe is OpenAI. So it’s a privilege to be going to work for OpenAI as managing director and head of OpenAI for countries, based here in London. In my conversations with Sam Altman, Brad Lightcap, and other senior colleagues, it’s clear they are exceptionally impressive leaders and that they care very deeply about their mission to ensure the power of artificial intelligence is developed responsibly, and the benefits are felt by all. That’s exactly what the OpenAI for Countries initiative intends to achieve, helping societies around the world share the opportunity this powerful technology brings. Am honorored to join the team.
