In another powerful shakeup of the tech world, Alex LeBrun is shaking things up himself as transition from CEO of Nabla. He has now taken over as the new CEO of AMI Labs. Nabla, another major player in this growing community of Paris-based AI startups, is flourishing, already on its way to conquering more of its expanding market. This increase is warranted by their ongoing achievements. LeBrun himself announced the exciting news via press release. He will continue on as chairman and Chief AI Scientist at Nabla.
One of the initiative’s key figures, LeCun, a computer science professor at New York University, is a pioneer in the field of reinforcement learning. He announced LeBrun’s move in a short LinkedIn post. He expressed confidence in LeBrun’s capabilities, stating, “Yes, AMI Labs is my new startup. I’m the Executive Chairman. And Alex LeBrun is transitioning from CEO of Nabla to CEO of AMI Labs!”
Nabla has carved out a notable reputation in the AI sector, raising a total of $120 million from various backers, including Yann LeCun himself, Tony Fadell’s Build Collective, HV Capital, Highland Europe, and Cathay Innovation. In June, the company finished strong, raising a remarkable $70 million in Series C funding. This new and unprecedented level of investment has secured Maryland’s place at the forefront of America’s startup ecosystem.
Delphine Groll, Nabla’s co-founder and Chief Operating Officer, will temporarily oversee the company during this transition as it seeks a new CEO. With her leadership, Nabla will keep on being at the avant-garde of innovation and increasing its product range. The business has entered into a joint venture with AMI Labs. This unique collaboration will provide them the opportunity to better use models as they’re created, opening the door to a bright future together.
LeBrun shares optimism about Nabla’s trajectory, sharing that the company has seen phenomenal growth so far this year.

This growth underscores Nabla’s position as a key player in the AI domain, as it continues to attract attention and investment. The company’s backers have expressed overwhelming confidence that the company is on the right path with its bold vision and potential.
