OpenAI hires new CRO as executive shake-up continues
OpenAI 聘请新任首席营收官，高层人事变动持续
OpenAI has replaced chief revenue officer Denise Dresser after just nine months on the job, tapping Wiz president and chief operating officer Dali Rajic to take on frontier lab’s top sales job. OpenAI 在首席营收官 Denise Dresser 上任仅九个月后便将其替换，并聘请了 Wiz 的总裁兼首席运营官 Dali Rajic 来接管这家前沿实验室的销售主管职位。
The move comes as part of a broader shake-up in the organization in the last month, which has seen the departures of COO Brad Lightcap and the company’s No. 2 executive, CEO of AGI deployment Fidji Simo. OpenAI co-founder and president Greg Brockman has taken a larger role in management following Simo’s departure, and announced Rajic’s arrival today in a blog post. 此举是该组织过去一个月内更大规模人事变动的一部分，此前首席运营官 Brad Lightcap 和公司二号人物、AGI 部署首席执行官 Fidji Simo 均已离职。在 Simo 离职后，OpenAI 联合创始人兼总裁 Greg Brockman 在管理层承担了更多职责，并于今日通过博客文章宣布了 Rajic 的加入。
Wiz, Rajic’s previous employer, was acquired by Google for $32 billion this year in the tech giant’s largest-ever acquisition. Rajic 的前雇主 Wiz 今年被谷歌以 320 亿美元收购，这是该科技巨头有史以来最大规模的收购案。
“Denise has led our revenue organization through a formative period for the business and has worked tirelessly to get the team to where it is today,” Brockman wrote. “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.” “Denise 在公司发展的关键时期领导了我们的营收部门，并为团队取得今天的成就付出了不懈努力，”Brockman 写道。“我们部署这项技术的方式正在迅速改变，随着我们构建全套系统以使人工智能广泛服务于个人和企业，Dali 将把我们所学到的经验转化为可复制的执行力。”
OpenAI says its products reach more than one billion weekly active users, and two million businesses. Despite the incredible growth and its powerful models, however, executives have suggested both privately and publicly that the company hasn’t hit all of its revenue goals. OpenAI 表示，其产品每周拥有超过 10 亿活跃用户和 200 万家企业客户。然而，尽管增长惊人且模型功能强大，但高管们在私下和公开场合都暗示，公司尚未实现所有的营收目标。
The company says it has filed confidentially with the SEC ahead of a potential IPO, but it’s not clear when that will take place. Private firms often try to round out their executive ranks ahead of a public markets debut. OpenAI purchased $7 billion worth of shares from employees this week in a tender offer that allowed them to cash in on some of their equity compensation, which may suggest a delay in the public offering. 该公司表示已向美国证券交易委员会（SEC）秘密提交了潜在 IPO 的申请，但尚不清楚具体上市时间。私营企业通常会在首次公开募股前完善其高管团队。OpenAI 本周通过要约收购回购了价值 70 亿美元的员工股份，允许员工套现部分股权薪酬，这可能暗示其公开募股计划有所推迟。
Bloomberg News’ coverage of the change-up referenced an OpenAI blog post that said the company needed to have a “relentless focus” on “measurable business impact,” but those comments appear to have been removed from the published version. However, this year CEO Sam Altman has spoken about focusing the company on enterprise deployment and cut back on technology projects and experiments seen as distracting from that goal. 彭博社在报道此次人事变动时引用了一篇 OpenAI 的博客文章，称公司需要“不懈地专注于”“可衡量的商业影响”，但这些评论似乎已从发布的版本中删除。不过，首席执行官 Sam Altman 今年曾表示，公司将专注于企业部署，并削减了被认为会分散该目标注意力的技术项目和实验。
