Dave Wehner, Meta's chief strategy officer, is departing the social media giant to join Fireworks, an AI infrastructure company, as chief financial officer. Fireworks was valued at $17.5 billion in a funding round last July.
Wehner's move represents a significant executive shift from one of the world's largest technology companies to a fast-growing AI startup focused on infrastructure. The hire underscores Fireworks' ambitions to scale and signals continued confidence in the AI infrastructure market despite broader venture funding headwinds.
