OpenAI on Tuesday announced that it has hired Denise Dresser, currently the CEO of Slack, as its first Chief Revenue Officer, signaling a push to deepen the company’s business- and enterprise-oriented operations.
In her new role, Dresser is expected to spearhead OpenAI’s global revenue initiatives — managing enterprise sales, customer strategy, and overall revenue growth.
The move arrives at a moment when OpenAI appears to be scaling aggressively beyond consumer-facing products such as ChatGPT. Appointing a dedicated revenue chief may reflect pressure to generate stable, sustainable income and to better monetize large corporate clients.

In past years, OpenAI has combined research, product development, and deployment under a relatively flat, but evolving, leadership structure. With Dresser, the firm takes a more structured, business-oriented approach.
