Denise Dresser, OpenAI's chief revenue officer, is leaving after just eight months, becoming the second senior leader to exit in days. The departure comes as the company prepares for a potential initial public offering. Dresser announced her decision on LinkedIn, saying she would stay for a transition period and had been working with co-founder Greg Brockman to ensure a smooth handoff. Earlier this week, COO Brad Lightcap also left to start a new venture.
