Shivon Zilis
Shivon Zilis appears in Sam Altman on YC, OpenAI, and the Meaning of Formidable as one of the former OpenAI board members Sam Altman says might have prevented the November 2023 OpenAI Board Crisis if she had remained on the board.
The episode does not describe her board service in depth. It uses her departure, together with Reid Hoffman and Will Hurd, to make a governance point about board continuity and composition in mission-sensitive AI companies.
