About Greg
Greg Osuri is CEO of Overclock Labs and founder of Akash, the open cloud for AI's next frontier. He founded Akash in 2018, years before compute scarcity became a defining AI constraint, with a vision for infrastructure that is open, distributed and sovereign. Greg’s foresight has translated into Akash becoming the world's largest distributed compute marketplace.
That conviction is backed by two decades in infrastructure, from building critical systems at IBM for Verizon, Sprint and JPMorgan Chase, to designing Kaiser Permanente's first cloud architecture and founding AngelHack, a hackathon community spanning 200,000+ developers across 164 cities. A longstanding contributor to Kubernetes, Terraform and Nomad, Greg also testified before Congress in 2025 on pressure AI is putting on energy and compute infrastructure, and what needs to change as demand continues to grow.
