Nscale corporate leadership and IPO preparations

Overview

UK-based AI data center startup Nscale has undergone several leadership changes and strategic preparations ahead of a planned initial public offering (IPO) on the New York Stock Exchange.

In September 2026, the company appointed Fidji Simo, former CEO of Instacart and former OpenAI executive, to its board of directors to strengthen corporate governance. Following this, in October 2026, Nscale hired former Meta executive Justin Osofsky as Chief Operating Officer to manage global operations and support the company’s US listing under the ticker NSCL.

Nscale, which originated as a spinout from Arkon Energy, specializes in GPU cloud services. Despite reporting a net loss of $1.02 billion in the first half of 2026, the company saw a 1,252% year-over-year revenue increase to $140.6 million. The company is reportedly targeting a valuation of approximately $30 billion in its upcoming offering.
