The sudden departure of Toby Neugebauer, co-founder and CEO of Fermi, along with Miles Everson, the chief financial officer, has shaken the startup specializing in AI-powered nuclear energy. This announcement led to a 22% drop in the company's stock on Monday.
Neugebauer has stepped down as president, although he remains a member of the board of directors. He has been replaced by Marius Haas, who was previously the lead independent director of the board. As for Everson, he has been appointed board director through the designation rights held by the Melissa A. Neugebauer 2020 Trust.
Fermi, which was co-founded by former U.S. Secretary of Energy Rick Perry, is currently working on the development of an AI campus in Amarillo, Texas. This project, dubbed Project Matador, aims to use nuclear reactors to power data centers. However, the project has recently faced challenges, including tensions with a key client, as reported by Bloomberg.
Despite these departures, Fermi has presented this transition along with other initiatives, including the opening of a headquarters in Dallas, under the Fermi 2.0 initiative. This strategy aims to reassure investors about the continuity and advancement of the company's projects.
