OpenAI said Thursday that Chief Revenue Officer Denise Dresser is leaving her role less than a year after she joined the artificial intelligence lab, a startling exit for a company that’s gearing up for what’s expected to be a blockbuster IPO.<\/p>\n

The company said Dresser is leaving “to pursue other opportunities,” according to a release. OpenAI has hired Dali Rajic, who previously served as the president and chief operating officer of the cybersecurity company Wiz, to replace her. <\/p>\n

OpenAI hired Dresser in December after she spent more than a decade as an executive at Salesforce. In 2023, Dresser was\u00a0named<\/a>\u00a0CEO of Slack, the messaging company Salesforce\u00a0acquired<\/a> for more than $27 billion in 2020.<\/p>\n

Dresser’s departure marks the second senior exit at OpenAI in days. Longtime OpenAI executive\u00a0Brad Lightcap<\/a>\u00a0announced his decision to leave the company on Tuesday, writing in a post on X that he is going to “start something new.”<\/p>\n
