MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.: Lightmatter, the leader in photonic supercomputing, today announced the appointment of Simona Jankowski as Chief Financial Officer (CFO). Bringing 20+ years of experience from NVIDIA and Goldman Sachs, Jankowski will drive Lightmatter’s financial functions and expansion, and sit on the executive team leading the company’s mission to transform the future of computing.
