Fidji Simo revealed she has postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) and is transitioning from OpenAI’s CEO of Applications to a part-time advisory role. She recalls Mark Zuckerberg advising her to slow down and “play the long game,” a counsel she now wishes she had followed as her chronic illness affected her ability to sustain a demanding career. Simo emphasizes that taking care of oneself today can enable longer, more meaningful contributions tomorrow, and notes that POTS requires individualized management since there’s no universal cure.
