CoreWeave hires execs from Google, Oracle, and AWS to fuel growth plans

AI cloud company CoreWeave on Friday said it added several senior executives to its team as it continues to grow its data center footprint. The firm appointed Chen Goldberg as SVP of engineering and Sachin Jain as chief operating officer.

The Roseland-based company also announced the opening of a London office and European expansion efforts.

Goldberg and Jain are technology veterans with long, accomplished histories at the largest technology companies in the world.

Goldberg spent the last eight years at Google, most recently as the GM & VP of Engineering for Kubernetes and Serverless.

“CoreWeave is light years ahead and delivering what others cannot – its modern infrastructure with unbeatable performance sets the company apart,” Goldberg said.

Jain most recently served as senior vice president Oracle Cloud, where he led the company’s AI infrastructure, data center capacity and infrastructure product teams. Prior to that, he held roles as vice president at Google Cloud and Amazon. At Google, he managed the capacity planning and optimization and supply chain engineering teams and played a central role in driving Google Cloud to profitability. At Amazon, he held leadership roles across pricing, fees, marketplace technologies, AWS and supply chain teams – setting the strategic direction for top and bottom line growth across various businesses.

“The fact that some of the largest enterprise companies and fast-growing AI labs are choosing CoreWeave as their cloud partner is a testament to their unparalleled innovations and relentless focus on customer success,” Jain said.

The duo joined CoreWeave less than two months after it appointed Chetan Kapoor as chief product officer, with Kapoor joining from AWS, where he led the hardware accelerated compute business. In March, the company appointed Google Cloud’s VP of finance Nitin Agrawal as its CFO.

“Both Chen and Sachin are exciting and critical additions to the CoreWeave team,” Mike Intrator, co-founder and CEO of CoreWeave, said.

“Their vision for the future of the AI cloud is strongly aligned with what we’re building at CoreWeave – in terms of a customer-centered development philosophy and the power of automation – and their expertise is unmatched. Their contributions to our platform will take CoreWeave’s industry-leading products and operations to the next level.”
