I am excited by the opportunities ahead of us and am eagerly looking forward to being part of this incredible journey.”
Today’s news comes on the heels of significant momentum. Between May 2023 to May 2024, CoreWeave raised a total of $12 billion from top-tier equity and debt investors. Recently, the company also announced its new London office and subsequent European expansion – creating over 120 new jobs across engineering, operations, finance and go-to-market, and a commitment to invest a total of $3.5 billion across Europe. The company also continues to grow its leadership bench with top-tier talent. Last week, CoreWeave announced its new Chief Accounting Officer, Jeff Baker, who joined from Rivian and played an essential role in its landmark initial public offering. In June, CoreWeave announced Chief Product Officer, Chetan Kapoor, who joined from Amazon Web Services where he was part of the Compute leadership team and managed the Hardware Accelerated Compute business. Earlier this year, the company welcomed Nitin Agrawal as Chief Financial Officer, who most recently served as VP of Finance for Google Cloud. With these additions, CoreWeave is fueling its next phase of growth and pushing the frontier of AI infrastructure forward. In 2023, CoreWeave more than quadrupled its data center presence, and anticipates doubling that figure globally by the end of 2024.
