Nscale adds former OpenAI exec Fidji Simo to its board ahead of potential IPO

UK-based AI data center startup Nscale has appointed Fidji Simo, former No. 2 at OpenAI, to its board. Simo left OpenAI in July for health reasons and previously led Instacart through its 2023 IPO. Nscale, founded just two years ago, is reportedly seeking up to $3.5B in pre-IPO financing. The board already includes Sheryl Sandberg, Susan Decker, and Nick Clegg.
