Former oil company chief joins company building $10bn artificial intelligence data centre in Wyoming
Former BP chief executive Bernard Looney is joining the board of a US-based data centre company as he seeks a comeback from a scandal last year that cost him the top job at the oil major. The Irish executive told the Financial Times he has been appointed chair of Prometheus Hyperscale, a start-up with plans to build a $10bn data centre in Evanston, Wyoming, to capitalise on the artificial intelligence boom.
“There will be other things that I do as well, but this is the first one that we have publicly announced and I’m really energised, really excited and looking forward to getting going,” said Looney in an interview. Looney said he was also advising a Norwegian technology company and sitting on the board of a US non-profit organisation, Focusing Capital On The Long Term.
