OpenAI appoints Dali Rajic as new chief revenue officer

OpenAI appointed Dali Rajic as its new chief revenue officer in mid-August 2026, replacing Denise Dresser who held the role for less than a year. Rajic, 53, previously served as president and COO at Google-owned cybersecurity firm Wiz, and before that as CRO at Zscaler and AppDynamics. He is known as a disciplined and successful enterprise sales leader. The hire is seen as a coup for OpenAI as it races toward a potential IPO in 2027 and seeks to grow enterprise revenue, which now exceeds consumer revenue. Rajic's cybersecurity background is particularly relevant as OpenAI expands its Daybreak cybersecurity program. Rajic was born in Yugoslavia (now Croatia), moved to Germany as a child, and came to the U.S. at age 16. He holds an MBA from Northwestern University's Kellogg School of Management.
