OpenAI and Anthropic, leading startups in the artificial intelligence sector, have begun actively recruiting marketing specialists in order to sell their developments more effectively. Although the competition for developers in the industry is constant, the main focus is now shifting to managers who work with corporate clients. This was reported by 3dnews.ru report.
According to the information, both companies have recently drawn over executives from major organizations such as Salesforce, Snowflake and Datalog. For example, Denise Dresser, who led the Slack platform within Salesforce, has been appointed revenue chief at OpenAI.
Heads of marketing structures are considered very important for artificial intelligence startups because of their connections in the corporate environment. These connections help in successfully selling software and services to major business representatives.
Anthropic has been focused on the business market from the outset, while OpenAI has only recently begun paying serious attention to this area.
As of January this year, OpenAI received 40% of its total revenue from the corporate sector. By the end of the year, this figure is expected to exceed 50%.
According to November reports, the company has more than 1 million business users worldwide.
