Fabric.AI Engages Egon Zehnder to Lead Search for Strategic Project Management Executive

Leadership search marks the latest step in a rapid scale-up of Fabric.AI’s Neural I/o™ platform and broader AI infrastructure roadmap

Fabric.AI, an AI infrastructure company developing a suite of fabless semiconductor technologies for next-generation “AI factories,” announced that it has engaged Egon Zehnder, one of the world’s preeminent executive search and leadership advisory firms, to lead the search for a senior project management executive.

The engagement adds to a period of accelerating momentum for Fabric.AI. In recent months, the Company has named Bill Maffucci as Head of Development for its Neural I/o chip program, advanced the development of its MicroLED-based optical interconnect technology in collaboration with Kopin Corporation, and entered into non-disclosure agreements with two major semiconductor companies to explore potential applications of its technology. The new project management executive is expected to help coordinate the complex engineering, product development, partnership, and commercialization workstreams now running in parallel across the organization.

Building the team behind the roadmap

Fabric.AI is pursuing a focused thesis: that the performance of AI data centers is increasingly limited not by compute alone, but by the interconnects that move data between chips. The Company’s Neural I/o program is developing MicroLED-based optical interconnects intended to address that bottleneck — an architecture the Company believes can offer advantages in speed, energy efficiency, and scalability relative to established copper-based and laser-based approaches. The interconnect work is being pursued in collaboration with Kopin Corporation, a long-established developer of MicroLED and advanced display technologies.

Executing on that roadmap requires deep operational leadership, and the Egon Zehnder engagement is one of several planned additions to the Company’s team in the near term.

“Egon Zehnder’s reputation, global reach, and deep expertise across AI, advanced technologies, and organizational leadership make them an ideal partner for Fabric.AI at this stage of our growth,” said Josh Silverman, Chief Executive Officer of Fabric.AI. “We are building a company with the ambition to solve real bottlenecks in AI infrastructure, and that requires real operating discipline. Following Bill Maffucci’s appointment to lead development of our Neural I/o program, this search reflects our commitment to pairing a bold technical vision with the leadership needed to execute it.”

Founded more than 60 years ago, Egon Zehnder operates across 37 countries with more than 600 consultants globally and has advised boards and leadership teams at many of the world’s most influential technology companies. The firm’s Technology and AI Practice specializes in identifying executives capable of driving innovation in rapidly evolving industries, and has worked with more than 30% of the world’s top 1,000 organizations on executive assessment and leadership development initiatives.

Fabric.AI believes the addition of an experienced project management leader will strengthen the Company’s ability to execute across multiple high-priority development programs while positioning the organization for long-term growth.
