OpenAI chief revenue officer Denise Dresser announced on August 13th that she is leaving the company in the “coming weeks” to “pursue other opportunities,” making her the second senior executive to announce a departure within two days.
- CRO Denise Dresser will leave OpenAI in the 'coming weeks,' per a team note she posted to LinkedIn
- Dali Rajic, president and COO of Wiz, will take over the CRO role
- The departures come ahead of OpenAI's IPO, following a confidential S-1 filing submitted to the SEC in June
Dresser shared the news in a team note posted to LinkedIn. She joined OpenAI as its chief revenue officer in December, having previously served as CEO of Slack. Two days earlier, Brad Lightcap - special projects lead and former COO - said he would also be leaving. Dresser had taken on some of Lightcap’s work when he moved into the special projects role.
OpenAI confirmed that Dali Rajic, currently president and COO of Wiz, will take over the CRO role. “Dali will build the revenue operating system needed to scale for this next phase,” the company said. The exits follow those of former AGI chief Fidji Simo and former CMO Kate Rouch, and come ahead of OpenAI’s planned IPO - the company submitted a confidential S-1 filing to the Securities and Exchange Commission in June.
