In a significant move, OpenAI has named Denise Dresser, formerly the CEO of Slack, as its inaugural chief of revenue. Her primary responsibilities will involve crafting global revenue strategies and facilitating the adoption of AI by various enterprises. This strategic hiring is viewed as a strong indicator of OpenAI's dedication to transforming its AI innovations into sustainable profits for investors.
Dresser has an extensive background, having spent over a decade at Salesforce, where she played a vital role in the integration of Slack after its acquisition in 2020 for $27.7 billion. Salesforce expressed gratitude for her leadership, while Slack’s product chief, Rob Seaman, will temporarily assume her previous responsibilities.
This appointment coincides with OpenAI CEO Sam Altman’s call for enhanced performance of ChatGPT amid increasing competition in the AI landscape. Launched three years ago, ChatGPT quickly attracted a user base of over 800 million weekly users. Despite a remarkable valuation of $500 billion, OpenAI has yet to achieve profitability and currently holds over $1 trillion in commitments to major cloud and chip partners, including Oracle and Nvidia.
Revenue sources for OpenAI mainly stem from its paid ChatGPT subscriptions, while a large portion of users continues to utilize the free version. In October, OpenAI also launched its web browser, Atlas, to challenge Google Chrome, maintaining a non-advertising approach on ChatGPT, which raises concerns regarding future financial performance and potential AI market instability.
With Dresser at the forefront of its revenue initiatives, OpenAI aims to bolster its business framework, enhance global partnerships, and ensure the robustness of its rapidly evolving technological operations.
