Nscale, a British AI data center startup, has appointed Fidji Simo to its board.
Simo was previously OpenAI's second-highest executive (responsible for AI deployment), led Instacart through its 2023 IPO, and worked at Meta for over a decade. She joins a board that already includes Sheryl Sandberg, Susan Decker, and Nick Clegg ahead of Nscale's planned IPO later this year. Nscale, which designs and operates AI data centers, is reportedly seeking to raise up to $3.5 billion and has grown rapidly since its founding two years ago.
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.
