Denise Dresser joined OpenAI in December 2025 to help the nerdy frontier lab learn how to sell AI to the enterprise. Less than nine months later, she's moving on, the second major executive to leave OpenAI just this week.

Dali Rajic is the new chief revenue officer at OpenAI, the company announced in a blog post Thursday. He was most recently president and chief operating officer of Wiz, the security company acquired by Google last year, and prior to that held enterprise sales leadership roles at Zscaler and AppDynamics.

"Dali has deep expertise in running disciplined, metrics-led revenue organizations that scale globally and selling to both large enterprises and technical customers," OpenAI said in the post. But despite that experience, OpenAI also said it has hired RPT Partners, which "advises founders and boards on sales strategy, marketing alignment, and go-to-market execution" according to its web site, to "support our ongoing efforts to build a world-class go-to-market team."

("Go-to-market" is how the cool kids refer to "sales" these days.)
