Greg Hogan
Tech Industry Links: Andreessen Horowitz
It’s not surprising that there are reports that OPM has been training AI models with information on government personnel. Greg Hogan, the agency’s CIO, previously worked for an AI company that was backed Marc Andreesen’s firm Andreesen Horowitz. After leaving OPM abruptly in September 2025, he has reportedly moved over to the National Design Studio with the title Hacker In Residence.
