OpenAI President Greg Brockman on Monday brushed off concerns about executive turnover at the artificial intelligence company, stating that he doesn't think the wave of exits is "actually that atypical."

"I actually think that the difference between OpenAI and other organizations is that we are so much in the spotlight, so every departure gets scrutinized in a way that it doesn't otherwise," Brockman told CNBC's "Squawk Box" in an exclusive interview.

Last week, OpenAI's revenue chief, Denise Dresser, suddenly left her role after just eight months at the company. She was tasked with growing OpenAI's enterprise unit, a high-margin part of the business that aims to directly take on the company's chief rival, Anthropic.

Dresser's departure came just two days after another longtime executive, Brad Lightcap, said he was ending an eight-year stint at the ChatGPT creator to "start something new." Dresser took over many of Lightcap's responsibilities in April, when OpenAI said he was transitioning his position as operating chief to a new role focused on "special projects."

OpenAI named Dali Rajic, former COO of cybersecurity company Wiz, which Google acquired for $32 billion earlier this year, as its new chief revenue officer.
