OpenAI taps Slack CEO Denise Dresser as chief revenue officer

Dec 9 (Reuters) - OpenAI ⁠on Tuesday ⁠appointed ‍Slack CEO Denise Dresser as its chief revenue officer, as the ‍ChatGPT maker looks to expand its enterprise ​business.

Dresser will oversee OpenAI's global revenue strategy, including ​enterprise sales and customer success.

At Slack, she led the messaging platform through its integration with Salesforce following ​the $27.7 billion acquisition in 2021. Before that, Dresser spent more than a decade ​at Salesforce, where she managed global sales operations.

The appointment comes ‌as companies increasingly embed AI into core processes rather than limiting its ​use to experimental projects. ⁠OpenAI said its tools are helping workers save time and complete ‌tasks previously considered out of reach.

In September, The Information reported that OpenAI generated around $4.3 billion ‌in revenue in the first half of 2025, about ‌16% more than it generated in 2024.

OpenAI, backed by Microsoft, has seen rapid growth in business ‍use of its AI models. The company said more than one ⁠million organizations, including Walmart, Morgan Stanley and Target, use its technology for internal operations and customer-facing applications.
