OpenAI has appointed Denise Dresser as itsChief Revenue Officer, expanding the company’s leadership team to oversee its global revenue strategy across enterprise and customer success.
Denise has experience running large businesses, understands customers deeply, and scaled products that people in the workplace love to use. Most recently, she served as CEO of Slack, where she led the company through its integration with Salesforce and helped redefine how millions of people use AI to work more efficiently and stay better connected. Prior to Slack, Denise spent more than a decade at Salesforce building and leading global sales organizations serving some of the company’s largest and most complex customers.
“We’re on a path to put AI tools into the hands of millions of workers, across every industry. Denise has led that kind of shift before, and her experience will help us make AI useful, reliable, and accessible for businesses everywhere.” said Fidji Simo, CEO of Applications
Denise is joining OpenAI at a time when AI is becoming a regular part of work. Companies around the world are moving past single-use tools and pilots and are instead looking for AI they can depend on across their entire organization and to power their most important processes and applications.
That shift is already having a measurable impact: 75% of workers say that AI has improved the speed or quality of their work, with many saving 40–60 minutes per day, and heavy users saving more than 10 hours per week. AI is also enabling new forms of work, with three-quarters of users reporting that they can now complete tasks that were previously out of reach.
OpenAI is built to support that kind of use. We help teams get started quickly with ChatGPT for Work, while also giving companies the ability to connect AI directly into their systems through our API. Today, more than one million business customers including Walmart(opens in a new window), Morgan Stanley, Intuit, Databricks(opens in a new window), Target, and Lowe’s use our technology in customer experiences, internal operations, and daily workflows.
Denise Dresser, Chief Revenue Officer said “I’ve spent my career helping scale category-defining platforms, and I’m looking forward to bringing that experience to OpenAI as it enters its next phase of enterprise transformation.”
