“As companies race to evolve their infrastructure for AI
workloads, one of the biggest challenges they face is stitching
together the enormous amount of compute required from CPUs, GPUs
and accelerators. Being able to do this in a highly efficient way
will make or break an organization’s ability to compete in the
world of AI,” said Spelman. “Cornelis is unique in having the
products, roadmap, and talent to help customers address this issue.
I look forward to joining the team to bring their innovations to
even more organizations around the globe.”
Spelman joins Cornelis from Intel, where she was most recently
corporate vice president in the Data Center & AI Group and
general manager of Xeon Products and Solutions. During her tenure,
she expanded Xeon's capabilities to accelerate AI workloads,
establishing CPUs as a leading inference engine across the
industry. Spelman also held several senior leadership roles within
Intel’s IT organization, including infrastructure operations and
engineering, as well as positions in finance, data center product
and brand marketing, and sales.
“Lisa brings unparalleled breadth and depth of expertise in
every aspect of building and scaling a successful business. She is
already well known and trusted by our customers for her ability to
help them develop the next generation infrastructure they need,
which will be invaluable as we look to expand deeper into the
enterprise and cloud AI markets. I look forward to partnering with
her and the rest of the Cornelis leadership team as we prepare for
our next phase of growth,” said Murphy.
