Cenly Chen has been named as CEO and board member of the newly formed ChronoScale Corp., (Nasdaq: CHRN), a Dallas-based accelerated compute platform purpose-built to support demanding artificial intelligence workloads.
ChronoScale was formed recently via a business combination of Applied Digital’s cloud computing business and California-based EKSO Bionics Holdings. By spinning out its cloud business and merging it with EKSO as ChronoScale, Dallas-based data center builder and operator Applied Digital said each business will be allowed to “scale independently, pursue distinct growth trajectories, and operate with greater strategic and capital flexibility.”
As ChronoScale’s CEO, Chen brings more than two decades of experience scaling enterprise infrastructure and high-performance computing platforms in global markets. She most recently served as chief growth officer, SVP & managing director at San Jose, California-based Super Micro Computer, (Nasdaq: SMCI), where she led global growth initiatives across AI and enterprise infrastructure markets, the company said.
Built for a market that’s shifting ‘from access to execution’
Wes Cummins, board chairman of ChronoScale and CEO of Applied Digital, said, ““We believe the market is shifting from access to execution, and we built ChronoScale for that shift.”
“Cenly has scaled infrastructure platforms through periods of rapid growth and she has demonstrated to us that she understands what it takes to deliver performance consistently,” Cummins added in a statement. “We’re confident that her leadership positions ChronoScale to expand capacity, meet accelerating demand, and execute with discipline as the market evolves.”
Chen’s appointment comes as demand for AI compute infrastructure continues to accelerate, with increasing pressure on providers to deliver consistent performance at scale, ChronoScale noted.
“I believe the next phase of AI isn’t about access—it’s about execution,” said Chen. “We understand that customers need reliable, high-performance compute delivered consistently and at scale. Applied Digital built ChronoScale for that reality. Our focus is clear: expand capacity with discipline, operate efficiently, and deliver the performance our customers depend on—every day.”
