Veteran technology executive joins SambaNova following Series F financing at an $11B valuation amid rising demand for secure, production-grade AI inference

SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--SambaNova, the leading AI inference company, today announced that Mohsen Moazami has joined as Vice Chair of Global Strategy and Partnerships. Reporting to the CEO, Rodrigo Liang, Moazami will help accelerate SambaNova’s expansion across global enterprise, government, and sovereign AI markets.

Moazami's appointment follows SambaNova's Series F financing at an $11B valuation. With a growing roster of sovereign AI deployments, the company is scaling rapidly across enterprise, government, and service provider markets globally.

“AI infrastructure is entering a new operating phase,” said Rodrigo Liang, co-founder and CEO of SambaNova. “Customers are no longer asking whether AI works. They’re asking how to run it securely, profitably and at scale. Mohsen has helped build global technology businesses through exactly these kinds of transitions, and his experience across enterprise, government, sovereign and capital markets will be critical as SambaNova scales.”

Moazami brings decades of operating, investing and international market-building experience. Most recently, he served in the Office of the CEO and was President of International at Groq, where he led global commercial and sovereign market expansion culminating in the company's landmark $20 billion strategic transaction. He is also Vice Chair of DDN, the AI data platform provider, where he strengthens the company’s customer, government and sovereign engagements worldwide.

"SambaNova's recent momentum in AI, including its leadership in disaggregated inference, demonstrates the growing demand for efficient, scalable AI solutions around the world,” said Lip-Bu Tan, Chairperson of SambaNova. “Mohsen brings an exceptional combination of strategic insight, operational leadership, and deep relationships across enterprise, government, and sovereign AI markets, making him uniquely suited to help guide the next phase of SambaNova’s growth. Together, SambaNova's innovation and Mohsen's proven ability to build transformative partnerships will accelerate the global expansion and broaden the impact of AI worldwide."

“SambaNova has reached the point every category-defining technology company works toward: the market need is clear, the technology is validated, and the capital is in place to scale,” said Mohsen Moazami. “Production inference is becoming one of the most important infrastructure markets in the world. SambaNova is uniquely positioned to serve enterprises, governments and sovereign AI programs that need performance, control and better economics.”
