CoreWeave announced the appointment of Jon Jones as its first chief revenue officer (CRO). He will lead the company’s global revenue organization, focusing on scaling products and sales for the next chapter of its growth.
A recognized AI industry leader, Jones is a seasoned technology executive with over two decades of leadership experience during periods of major business expansion and transformation.
A native of Silicon Valley, Jones has held roles from startup founder to enterprise executive leadership. At Amazon, he recently served as global head of startups and venture capital, and previously as vice president of go-to-market, products and services. He was responsible for global service expansion from pre-product launch to scale-out with a focus on AI innovation and cloud adoption.
Jones joins a highly accomplished revenue organization, established by Max Hjelm, who built a go-to-market team that has propelled CoreWeave to its current market position as the essential cloud for AI, purpose-built for the scale, performance and expertise required to power AI innovation.
“We are in a moment of hypergrowth, and expanding our leadership team with our first CRO will enable us to meet the scale and complexity of the opportunities ahead,” said Michael Intrator, co-founder, chairman and chief executive officer of CoreWeave.
“What makes Jon Jones’ appointment especially exciting is that he brings a valuable blend of expertise to an exceptional team that is committed to best-in-class experiences for our customers. The scale of AI adoption demands entirely new products and services, and with Jon Jones on board, we are well-positioned to extend our leadership as the platform of choice for AI innovation and adoption.”
“I’m thrilled to join CoreWeave at such an important moment,” said Jones. “AI adoption is advancing at an extraordinary pace, and lasting success depends on pairing world-class technology with the right go-to-market strategy to move new ideas from inception to implementation and scale-out. CoreWeave is the AI platform of choice, and I’m excited to work with Max, Mike and the entire team to help lead the business into its next stage of growth.”
