Dave Wehner, Meta's chief strategy officer, is leaving the company for four-year-old AI startup Fireworks.
At Fireworks — an AI inference and model-training platform focused on open models that was valued at $17.5 billion during a Series D fundraising round in July — Wehner will assume the CFO role, he announced on X on Friday.
Wehner will be tasked with scaling the company's finances and operations, Fireworks CEO Lin Qiao said in a statement to CNBC.
"Fireworks has the right mission for the moment," Wehner wrote on X, adding: "I've become increasingly bullish on what they are building. There's a remarkable depth of technical talent here, coupled with a very practical focus on what customers need."
