He is now tasked with leading OpenAI’s global revenue organization.

“OpenAI has extraordinary technology, products that more than 1 billion people already love, and enormous market pull,” said Rajic, OpenAI’s new global CRO, in a statement. “I’m excited to join the team, build on the momentum already in place, and lead the revenue organization as we help customers realize the full value of AI.”

OpenAI Co-Founder Greg Brockman Bullish On New Hire

OpenAI co-founder and President Greg Brockman said he’s bullish about hiring one of Google’s top security leaders as its new revenue chief.

“We’re moving into a compute-powered economy, with AI becoming embedded in every workflow,” said Brockman in a statement.

“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,” Brockman said.

OpenAI Hiring Google Cloud Leaders

One CEO of a longtime Google Cloud channel partner said Rajic was a channel advocate inside Wiz.

“We’ve been thinking about joining the [Wiz Partner Alliance Program] that he helped get off the ground,” said the CEO of the Google Cloud partner, who declined to be identified. “We saw that he did a lot on the partner side of things. … I’m surprised so many Google execs are going to [OpenAI]. It’s going to be interesting what they become in a year or two.”

In 2026, OpenAI hired Google Cloud’s former global head of partner programs, Colleen Kapase, who was instrumental in launching OpenAI’s inaugural OpenAI Partner Network this year.

In addition, OpenAI hired Google Cloud’s former Partner Network managing director, Philip Larson, who is now tasked with leading OpenAI’s newly launched Partner Network.

In June, OpenAI also hired Google Gemini co-leader Noam Shazeer—the former CEO of Character.AI and one of Google’s first few hundred employees.

“We’re not worried about Google finding and replacing its executive bench. They have the ability to do that seamlessly,” said the CEO.

He could not be reached for comment by press time.
