OpenAI has appointed Denise Dresser, former Slack CEO, as its new Chief Revenue Officer. She will lead global revenue strategy, enterprise sales, and customer success. Dresser brings deep experience scaling B2B platforms; at Slack, she managed the Salesforce integration and helped embed AI into enterprise workflows. This hire signals OpenAI’s commitment to growing its business customer base, which already includes over 1 million organizations like Walmart and Morgan Stanley. The company reports that 75% of workers using AI say it improves speed or quality, with heavy users saving over 10 hours weekly. Dresser’s role is to help businesses move beyond AI experiments to reliable, organization-wide adoption. Why it matters: This move underscores that the next frontier for AI isn’t just consumer apps but deeply embedding AI into core business operations — and OpenAI is betting that enterprise sales leadership, not just tech innovation, will decide who wins that race.
