OpenAI chief revenue officer Denise Dresser is preparing to leave the company less than a year after joining, triggering another senior leadership transition as the artificial intelligence developer intensifies its pursuit of enterprise customers. Dresser will be replaced by Dali Rajic, most recently president and chief operating officer of Google-owned cybersecurity company Wiz.
Dresser said she had made the decision to depart in the coming weeks to pursue other opportunities. She joined OpenAI from Salesforce, where she had served as chief executive of workplace collaboration platform Slack, and was appointed to lead OpenAI’s global revenue strategy across enterprise sales and customer success. Her departure follows a period in which she had become one of the company’s principal representatives in customer engagements and public discussions about enterprise adoption.
The transition also coincides with OpenAI co-founder and president Greg Brockman assuming greater responsibility for the company’s next phase of commercial and operational growth. Brockman has been consolidating oversight of product development and is now taking a larger role in the enterprise business. OpenAI has also elevated Joy Jiao to head of life sciences, signalling a parallel effort to develop specialised industry businesses around its models.
Rajic arrives with experience spanning enterprise software, cybersecurity and high-growth technology companies. Before joining Wiz, he held senior positions at Zscaler, AppDynamics and other software businesses. At Wiz, he was responsible for operational and commercial functions during a period of rapid expansion that culminated in Google’s acquisition of the cloud-security company. That background places him at the intersection of two areas central to OpenAI’s enterprise strategy: scaling complex software sales and addressing the security requirements of large organisations.
OpenAI said in April that enterprise customers accounted for more than 40% of its revenue and were on course to reach parity with consumer revenue by the end of 2026. The company reported more than one million business customers in its enterprise research, while workplace subscriptions and API consumption have continued to expand. Its strategy increasingly centres on embedding AI agents in repeatable business processes rather than limiting adoption to individual productivity tools.
The leadership change will shape OpenAI’s commercial engagement with Indian corporations, global capability centres and technology-services partners deploying generative AI across software development, customer operations, analytics and internal knowledge systems. Rajic’s cybersecurity background is also aligned with the security, identity, data-governance and audit requirements that frequently determine whether Indian enterprises move AI programmes from pilots into production.
The appointment has been reported as part of a developing reorganisation. OpenAI has not disclosed whether Rajic’s remit, reporting structure or revenue targets will differ materially from those assigned to Dresser.
