Lisa Spelman, CEO of Cornelis Networks

Today's guest is ⁠Lisa Spelman⁠.

Lisa is currently the CEO of Cornelis Networks. Lisa's career started at Intel, where she spent almost 19 years, ending her tenure as the GM of Intel's Xeon product, their enteprise CPU line. It was there that Lisa saw the pain around high performance networking on large scale clusters, inspiring the move to the operator side. In 2024, she took the helm at Cornelis Networks, a high-performance networking company spun out of Intel in 2020 built around the OmniPath fabric architecture. Cornelis is purpose-built for the most demanding HPC and AI workloads that require massive, coordinated compute across entire data centers. Cornelis has raised over $140M since its founding in 2020. We're thrilled to have Lisa on the podcast today.
