I think Greg Brockman falls into this category.

Chris Olah was at OpenAI but is now one of the founders of Anthropic but doesn't have any degree (he joined Google Brain after dropping out of his undergrad degree).

I think they are pretty exceptional though - most people on the ML team do AFAIK. Perhaps on the infrastructure side the backgrounds are different.
