OpenAI replaces its CRO after nine months as Lightcap and Simo exit

OpenAI replaced chief revenue officer Denise Dresser after nine months with Wiz president Dali Rajic, the third senior exit in a month after COO Brad Lightcap and AGI deployment CEO Fidji Simo. The reshuffle lands alongside a confidential SEC filing and a $7B employee tender offer — an enterprise revenue organization being rebuilt before an IPO, not after.

The way we're deploying this technology is changing rapidly, and Dali will turn what we've learned into repeatable execution as we build out the full system to make AI broadly useful for people and businesses.
