She left a week after her former boss. Denise Dresser, OpenAI’s chief revenue officer, walked out after nine months.
Both women came from Salesforce. Voss was Slack’s chief revenue officer before she joined.
She had been building a plan. Voss told Fortune a month ago that her team was segmenting customers into groups, among them telecommunications, retail, consumer goods and manufacturing. Cybersecurity was a focus, along with driving adoption and showing businesses a return.
Her old boss welcomed her back in public
“Welcome Home to The Ohana @KaylinVoss!” Marc Benioff posted on X, linking to the story about her departure. The post has been seen more than 135,000 times.
Amir Efrati of The Information followed with three words that did the same job. “Kaylin is going back to… Salesforce.”
The new man starts this week
OpenAI named Dali Rajic as chief revenue officer in mid-August, replacing Dresser. It is the company’s fifth C-suite change in a year, Emily Forlini reported for Fortune.
Rajic, 53, was president and chief operating officer at Wiz, the cybersecurity company Google bought this year for $32bn. He starts this week.
