Validation rule on making a field required for a certain profile

If a user with the Sales Member profile saves an opportunity, they should get an error message if they don't enter text in the field Execuitve Summary.

I have this validation rule but it does not work after I log in as the user with this profile.

AND( 
$Profile.Name <> "Sales Member", 
( Executive_Summary__c = ""), 
ISBLANK(Executive_Summary__c) 
)

You want the formula to evaluate to true to invoke the rule. The operator for profile name is reveresed. It should be equals. Try this:
  
AND(
   $Profile.Name = "Sales Member",  
   ISBLANK(Executive_Summary__c) 
)
