OpenAI Hires First Revenue Chief in Profit Push

OpenAI has appointed Denise Dresser as its first Chief Revenue Officer. Dresser was most recently the CEO of Slack, which is owned by Salesforce. Her hiring signals a major shift. The creator of ChatGPT is now focusing intensely on making money from its artificial intelligence tools. Dresser spent 14 years at Salesforce. In her new role, she will lead OpenAI's global revenue strategy. The company stated she will "help more businesses put AI to work in their day-to-day operations." The move comes as OpenAI faces enormous costs for developing and running its advanced AI models. Bringing in a top executive from the business software industry shows a clear priority: converting its technology leadership into sustainable profit.
