Edwards boasts of nearly two decades of experience scaling technology companies, having been CEO of AI-inference firm, Groq, after initially joining the latter as CFO.

At Groq, Edwards led global financial operations and guided the company through a period of rapid expansion, infrastructure build-out, and its recent licensing agreement with Nvidia Corp.

Apart from Groq, he also held CFO positions at Conga and ServiceMax, as well as CFO for GE Digital.

“Simon brings deep experience across finance and financial operations, along with the discipline, systems thinking and technology leadership needed as Bloom rapidly builds the power platform for the digital economy and beyond,” Bloom Energy Corp. (NYSE:BE) Chairman and CEO KR Sridhar said.

“His engineering foundation, background in software and experience scaling AI infrastructure will be highly relevant as industries face increasing constraints around power availability. He will further strengthen our accomplished management team. We are pleased to welcome Simon to Bloom,” he added.
