OpenAI said on August 13 that Dali Rajic, formerly president and COO of Wiz, will become chief revenue officer as Denise Dresser leaves after a transition period. The company says its products now serve more than 2 million businesses, twice the year-earlier count, and is bringing Rajic in to build the revenue organization for its next growth phase.
OpenAI said on August 13 that Dali Rajic will join as chief revenue officer, replacing Denise Dresser after a transition period. Rajic most recently served as president and chief operating officer of Wiz, the cybersecurity company acquired by Google.
The company framed the appointment around the next stage of its enterprise expansion. OpenAI said its products now reach more than one billion weekly active users and more than two million businesses, twice the business count from a year earlier. Those are OpenAI's own figures, not independently audited metrics.
What OpenAI announced
Rajic will lead OpenAI's global revenue organization. OpenAI credited Dresser with building the team, strengthening major-customer relationships, and establishing the commercial foundation for the current business. It said she will leave to pursue other opportunities after working through a transition period.
Before Wiz, Rajic was president and COO of Zscaler and chief customer and revenue officer at AppDynamics. OpenAI also announced a strategic partnership with Chad Peets and RPT Partners to support the company's go-to-market team.
Independent reports from Business Insider and Axios corroborated the leadership transition. Axios additionally reported that Dresser expects to leave in the coming weeks and that the appointment comes as OpenAI pushes to expand enterprise adoption. Those reports add organizational context, while OpenAI's announcement is the originating record for the appointment and departure.
Why the change matters
This is a change in commercial leadership, not a model release or product-roadmap announcement. Rajic's background points to an emphasis on building repeatable sales and customer operations for large technical and enterprise accounts.
For practitioners and buyers, the immediate signal is organizational
OpenAI is strengthening the group responsible for converting product adoption into durable enterprise relationships. The announcement does not specify changes to pricing, contracts, service levels, or product availability, so customers should not infer operational changes from the executive transition alone.
Key Points #
- 1OpenAI appointed former Wiz president and COO Dali Rajic as chief revenue officer on August 13, 2026.
- 2Denise Dresser will leave OpenAI after a transition period to pursue other opportunities.
