OpenAI Swaps Chief Revenue Officer Again, Poaches Wiz's Dali Rajic
OpenAI has ousted chief revenue officer Denise Dresser after just nine months, replacing her with Dali Rajic, who previously served as president and COO at cloud security firm Wiz. Rajic will now lead OpenAI's sales organization as the company races to convert its massive consumer and developer usage into enterprise revenue.
The move continues a pattern of rapid executive turnover at OpenAI, which has cycled through several senior leaders in sales, safety, and operations over the past two years as it scales from research lab to full-fledged enterprise vendor.
Rajic's background in cybersecurity sales at Wiz, a company built specifically to sell into large, security-conscious enterprises, suggests OpenAI wants someone with experience closing complex, high-stakes deals with big corporate buyers rather than a generalist sales exec.
