"Nscale, which has datacenters in several European countries as well as the US, confirmed the hires along with the completion of a Series C funding round that secures the rent-a-GPU biz another $2 billion. Clegg stepped down from his position as Meta's president of global affairs just over a year ago, a role that saw him serve as chief apologist for Zuckcorp."
"Sir Nick is also a General Partner at Hiro Capital, a private equity investor focused on emerging tech including AI, robotics, and spatial computing. According to Nscale, the Cleggster brings 'deep expertise at the intersection of technology, policy, and global affairs.'"
"Sandberg was chief operating officer at Meta from 2008 to 2022, when she stepped down from the role, but remained on the company's board until 2024. She is the co-founder of Sandberg Bernthal Venture Partners, an investment biz jointly managed with her husband."
Nscale, a European and US-based datacenter operator providing GPU rental services, announced three prominent board appointments: former British deputy prime minister Sir Nick Clegg, ex-Meta COO Sheryl Sandberg, and former Yahoo president Susan Decker. The appointments coincided with the completion of a $2 billion Series C funding round. Clegg, who recently departed Meta's president of global affairs role, brings expertise in technology policy and global affairs through his work at Meta and current position as General Partner at Hiro Capital, focusing on emerging technologies including AI and robotics. Sandberg previously served as Meta's COO and co-founded an investment firm with her husband. Decker brings additional executive experience from her tenure leading Yahoo.
