Catherine Wu, who played a pivotal role as the founding product lead for Claude Code at Anthropic, has made the decision to leave the company and join OpenAI. At OpenAI, Wu will take on the role of leading product management for Core Products, collaborating closely with Thibault Sottiaux, who is the lead for Codex.
This transition is notable as Wu is the third key member to depart from Anthropic’s Claude Code team within a span of just two weeks. Her move to OpenAI underscores the ongoing competition and talent dynamics within the AI sector, particularly in the realm of AI coding and product development.
Wu’s expertise in product management is expected to bolster OpenAI’s capabilities as it continues to innovate and expand its offerings in the AI space. Her departure from Anthropic may also raise questions about the stability and future direction of the Claude Code initiative.
