Nscale adds former OpenAI exec Fidji Simo to its board ahead of potential IPO
Nscale 已任命前 OpenAI 高管 Fidji Simo 加入其董事会，此举正值该公司筹备潜在的首次公开募股（IPO）之际。Simo 曾担任 OpenAI 的 AGI 部署首席执行官，是该 AI 实验室的二号高管，她于七月因健康原因离职，但仍兼职为公司提供咨询。她拥有丰富的经验，包括在担任 Instacart 董事长兼首席执行官期间，带领公司完成了 2023 年的 IPO，以及在 Meta 工作十余年，期间曾负责 Facebook 应用程序。Simo 目前还在 Shopify 董事会任职。
为什么是这条此次任命标志着一名前OpenAI高管首次加入其他公司董事会，不同于此前仅担任顾问的情况。

Nscale, the buzzy U.K.-based AI data center startup, has appointed former OpenAI, Meta, and Instacart executive Fidji Simo to its board.
Simo joins high-profile tech executives Sheryl Sandberg, Susan Decker, and Nick Clegg on Nscale’s board ahead of the startup’s anticipated IPO this fall.
Formerly CEO of AGI deployment at OpenAI, essentially the No. 2 executive at the AI lab, Simo left the company in July citing health reasons. She still advises the company on a part-time basis. Before OpenAI, Simo was chair and CEO of Instacart, where she led the company through its 2023 IPO. She also spent more than a decade at Meta, including as head of the Facebook app. Simo also sits on Shopify’s board.
Nscale’s founder and CEO, Josh Payne, said Simo is one of the few leaders who understand what it means to scale products used by billions of people and the demands those products place on the underlying systems.
“That’s what we’re building for at Nscale,” he said in a statement. “Fidji joins a board we’ve built deliberately, with the experience of scaling platforms to the largest in the world, and the independence, financial rigor and operating depth to which companies at this scale are held.”
Nscale’s valuation has skyrocketed since it was founded just two years ago on the back of booming demand for AI infrastructure. The startup, which designs, builds, and operates AI data centers, is reportedly trying to raise up to $3.5 billion ahead of a planned IPO, Bloomberg reported last week, citing unnamed sources.
