"OpenAI is bringing Slack CEO Denise Dresser on board to serve as the AI giant's chief revenue officer. In an announcement on Tuesday, OpenAI says Dresser will oversee the company's global revenue strategy, while helping "more businesses put AI to work in their day-to-day operations." Dresser has worked at Slack's parent company, Salesforce, for 12 years before becoming the CEO of Slack in 2023."
"During her time at Slack, Dresser oversaw the release of several new AI features, including a tool that recaps channels and threads, translates company jargon, and the launch of Slackbot as an AI assistant. Rob Seaman, Salesforce's chief product officer, will serve as interim CEO of Slack, according to Wired. OpenAI, which recently announced its for-profit restructuring, said last month that more than 1 million business customers are using its AI tools, while 800 million people use ChatGPT each week."
