CEO, Compute Exchange
About
Simeon Bochev is a dynamic AI infrastructure entrepreneur and global tech leader, serving as co-founder and CEO of Compute Exchange, the world's first open marketplace for trading GPUs and compute resources to democratize access, enhance transparency, and fuel innovation in the rapidly scaling AI era—treating compute as a commodity akin to oil or electricity. A University of Texas at Austin electrical engineering alumnus (B.S. 2012, high honors) who later earned an M.S. in Finance and a distinguished Harvard Business School MBA, Bochev built extensive expertise through roles as Head of Product, Strategy & Operations for AI Infrastructure at Apple, VP of Strategy at unicorn Lambda Labs, President of QuantCo APAC, and founder of an AI company in Japan, following early work in U.S. national security engineering. With multi-billion-dollar P&L impact reaching over a billion users, he now advises Fortune 100 CEOs, sits on private boards, and consults governments—including U.S. administrations, EU states, and Japan—on AI and tech policy, passionately advocating for open systems to prevent monopolies and accelerate humanity's technological progress.
