OpenAI has appointed Ismail Elmas as vice-president for sales across Europe, the Middle East and Africa, Bloomberg reports. He is the company’s second sales hire from SpaceX since September.
Why it mattersThe move adds senior commercial leadership in a major region as AI companies compete to turn interest in their products into business. A small staffing signal, perhaps, but sales hires are where growth plans meet customers and budgets.
Discuss: Should AI firms prioritise expanding sales teams, or prove stronger product demand before hiring for growth?
