Taylor is the stabilizer-in-chief who took the OpenAI board chair after the most dramatic governance crisis in tech history, while simultaneously building Sierra AI in the market OpenAI created. The dual role draws scrutiny, but his track record -- Google Maps, Facebook CTO, Salesforce co-CEO -- suggests he is one of the few people with the institutional gravity to keep OpenAI's governance functional. The real question is whether Sierra's enterprise agent thesis makes him a competitor or a complement.
