OpenAI's marketing lead, Kate Rouch, is stepping away for three months to receive treatment for invasive breast cancer. In a personal LinkedIn post, she disclosed her diagnosis and ongoing chemotherapy, highlighting the emotional toll on her family. Rouch emphasized the importance of health screenings, stating that she aims to raise awareness about the rising rates of breast cancer among younger women. With an optimistic prognosis, she is expected to make a full recovery and noted Gary Briggs will serve as interim head during her absence.
"Earlier this year - just weeks into my dream job - I was diagnosed with invasive breast cancer... It's been the hardest season of life - for me, my husband, and our two young kids."
"1 in 8 American women will get invasive breast cancer... I'm sharing my story [...] to get their attention and encourage them to prioritize their health over the demands of families and jobs."
