Artificial intelligence company OpenAI is expanding its business and sales operations in Israel with the appointment of Ido Perlason, a co-founder of the startup Yess, which was acquired by Amdocs this year. Perlason announced his move to OpenAI on LinkedIn, joining the company's business and sales team focused on startups. This marks OpenAI's second public hire in Israel, following Moti Hadas, who joined in late September as the company's first Go-to-Market (GTM) representative in the country.
Despite these new appointments, OpenAI currently has no plans to open an office in Israel or hire a local country manager. A source close to the matter indicated that the company intends to support the local ecosystem with only a few team members based in Israel. The company's objective is to increase the use of its products and models among Israeli customers.
