OpenAI announced that Denise Dresser, previously CEO of Slack, has been appointed as its first Chief Revenue Officer. Dresser will lead OpenAI’s global revenue strategy, aiming to boost business adoption of AI technology. With extensive experience from Salesforce and Slack, where she played a key role in integration and leadership, Dresser brings a strong vision for commercial growth. OpenAI’s CEO, Sam Altman, recently signaled urgency to enhance ChatGPT amid rising competition like Google’s Gemini 3. Though valued at $500 billion and serving over 800 million weekly users, OpenAI still faces challenges in profitability and meeting massive cloud and chip costs. The company generates revenue primarily through ChatGPT’s premium subscriptions and is exploring new features like its own web browser, Atlas, while holding off on ad-based monetization models for now.
