In October 2023, Bernard Looney, the former CEO of BP, announced he would join the AI data center startup Prometheus Hyperscale as the chairman of the board. His transition follows an investigation that led to his resignation from BP after failing to disclose past relationships with colleagues. Looney brings over 30 years of industry experience, focusing on attracting major clients such as Microsoft and Google to Prometheus, which aims to build a $10 billion data center in Wyoming.
