LOS ALTOS, Calif., June 5, 2024 — Simr, formerly UberCloud, today announced the appointment of Peter Ungaro, former president and CEO of Cray Inc., to its board of directors. Ungaro joins Ali Kutay, chairman and CEO of Striim, Salil Deshpande, partner at Uncorrelated Ventures, Baris Guzel, partner at BMW i Ventures, and Roland Manger, co-founder and partner at Earlybird Venture Capital, on Simr's board of directors.
“I am excited to join Simr's board of directors and have the opportunity to lead the company at this pivotal time for the growth of the company and the simulation market,” said Ungaro. “Simr is bringing a high level of innovation to the space with the introduction of SimOps, and we share the vision and passion for the beneficial change it will bring to all manufacturers.”
Simr revolutionizes the way engineers design, validate and test products by providing a single platform that enables engineers to use any computing resource with any major simulation tool, automating advanced simulations in the cloud, eliminating the need to specify, procure, implement and manage complex High Performance Computing (HPC) environments.
The platform makes Simulation Operations Automation (SimOps) best practices used by the majority of design engineers at three of the Magnificent Seven companies available to design engineers worldwide. Simr partners closely with leading simulation platform providers such as Ansys, Siemens and Dassault Systèmes.
Previously, Ungaro served as President and CEO of Cray, Inc., where he forged close partnerships with leading technology companies such as AMD, Intel, Microsoft and NVIDIA. He led the development of several groundbreaking technologies, including the Cray XC Series supercomputers, the Cray Urika-GX analytics platform and YARC Data, helping the company establish itself as an innovation leader in the HPC space and as a leader in the “big data” market. Following Hewlett Packard Enterprise's (HPE) acquisition of Cray for $1.3 billion in 2019, Ungaro served as Senior Vice President and General Manager of HPC, AI, Mission Critical Systems, Edge and HP Labs at HPE, strengthening HPE's position in the HPC and AI industries and laying the foundation for continued growth and innovation.
“We are honored and excited to have Pete join our board of directors,” said Burak Yenier, CEO and co-founder of Simr. “His visionary leadership, customer-first perspective, and track record of leading technological innovation align with Simr's mission to revolutionize the field of design engineering. His expertise and insights have helped shape the future of HPC, and his leadership at Cray has left a lasting impact across the industry. We look forward to working closely with him as we begin the next phase of our journey.”
