"Michael has been an invaluable resource to the Board and to Oklo since joining the Board last year," said DeWitte. "His experience helping companies execute against ambitious goals through periods of hypergrowth will provide us and the Board with critical perspective over the coming years. Particularly as we continue to develop and grow across our four business units, Michael will play a key role helping the Board to provide independent oversight to our management team. We look forward to working even more closely with him as we pursue our mission to make abundant energy available to all."

"We plan to continue to rely on his technical expertise as we grow our management team to support the full range of units across our business."
