Fidji Simo, applications CEO at OpenAI, is stepping down from her full-time role to become a part-time advisor due to postural tachycardia syndrome (POTS), a chronic illness she has managed since 2019. Simo took medical leave in April after a severe exacerbation of her condition, which causes symptoms like heart palpitations and fainting.
