Summary
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, the No. 2 executive at the AI lab, Simo left the company in July citing health reasons. Before OpenAI, Simo was chair and CEO of Instacart, where she led the company through its 2023 IPO. 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.
